Tilden Train ‘Round the mountaintop it ran, through make-believe timber towns, rusting iron, painted facades of general store and water tower. We liked to sit in the very first car, in the quiet, cool morning, fog enshrouded bays below, scented steam floating past, your trusting little hand in mine, watching you more fun than the ride, but oh, how you cried in the tunnel. Weaving in and out of redwoods, peek of Berkeley Hills, tiptop of triangular Transamerica just visible above the fog line in the distant City. Blue and white striped conductor’s hat guided that imagination, to lands where mine could never go, but, the meaning of the moment did not escape me. © 2000 Corinne Bailey |

Oh! I loved this one! It was very sweet, and the images were excellent. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

Oh I love trains...Thanks for the ride with you It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. |

This is terrific, Corinne. There is a certain mystique about trains that nothing else has. Thanks for painting such a great picture...........  |
