Train of Thought

This lyric poem is about the sequence of events and thoughts which are the train of life.

 

Train of Thought

I am a train

My life rushes past on either side

Through sun or rain

I must ride

The conductor—that is I

But however hard I try and try

I cannot stop this train

To have a rest

To stay still and calm forever

I peer out of the windows

There is only fog ahead

I lean out the side

The wind making my eyes watery

And I see what is past

And ever more distant memories

If I could stop

I would never get there

But I wonder where?
