A Click Clack Journey

Goodbye fingers
Tap yellow windows
Scenery is slow to go by
Her promise waves her hand

With memories pocketed
A kiss on a cross
Life’s options whisper
In lonely ears

A click clack journey
Into hills of stories
With only a writers
Eye to preserve it all

With a single step
He stumbles into
His lessons of
Life, love and loss.

Five years he listened
For the bullet that sang his name.
All the beauty,
He left behind in the train smoke.

A click clack journey
Through yellow windows
Her promise and a cross
Waves his hand.

Simply amazing. I'm quite fond of writing train poems myself.

thank you martiniat8

Trains have a certain appeal to me too. I grew up not to far from a railroad track and many times watched the train go by and i would dream up stories about its travel.

Thank you Alison,
I just sat down yesterday and started free forming it, using my right brain to write and this came out. I didn't even know it was a train poem until the stanza. lol
