the train

the hand guiding this train hasn't had a rest since September,
and my mind too
has been moving, moving, moving
with it.

i see the white sails unfurling,
the waves gently shifting, rising, falling...
sunrise over a winter world,
        the spring that never came
but a forgotten memory in the wake of new light.

the summer moon shines bright
and the sprinklers play a symphony with the crickets in the forest.

the night is lovely

one, two, three, four, five 
hundred thousand times this train has stopped
but never for long - always moving, always moving,
moving on.

never waiting
