As a distant rumble carries on the breeze
the moon begins her slow ascension.
A man standing just
outside
the pale glare of a street light casually drops his cigarette,
preparing for what he knows must come.

Half a continent away his mind has flown, even
as he struggles to bring it home
again.
With an olympic effort he begins to
regain control.

At just that moment the distant rumble speaks
and a deep, mournful whistle pierces the night's
reverie,
sending his mind on with wishes of godspeed.
The man at first clings to his control, but soon he must succumb.

With an incredible swiftness he is there,
remembering
what used to be. A warm autumn evening punctuated
by love's sweet first kiss; a wintery night under a starry
canopy holding her in his arms; all of these
and more,
all set to the haunting sound of a train passing,
somewhere,
far away.

I like this very much Steven.  It is atmespheric and moody--and well done!   Welcome to Passions.

 In the dew of little things,
the heart finds its morning
and is refreshed.

I'm not around often, but it is always nice
to check in and find someone like you around and writing.

Stephen -
Your poem is excellently done.
I was reminded of a black and white movie flickering on the screen ... the silhoutte of the man ... losing himself to remembering.
Very nice ... welcome to Passions.

This was spetacular the second time around =)
well at least for this slow poet,i had to get the whole train thing, this is the longest story ive ever read in 25 lines
BRAVO

 The two most waisted things in life are time and potential, I have both and not a clue what to do with them.

   Wow, thanks everyone.  I'm not quite sure what else to say.  I wasn't expecting everyone to like it.  Maybe one or two, but. . . .Thanks.
