‘tis but the night time mind that harbours down inside
the magic and the mystery of love’s deep empathy
and the days of everyday the highlighter of new ways
to box and package willfully the intent of messages.  

What need have I today of fancy tricks and spells
that speak the greatest, grandest, tales of happiness
somewhere down the line from this station, mine
where the air is thick and heavy with activity?

But emotion moves the will into forward gear
and slowly shunts the aged into new beginnings
while on the track the boxes lie empty and abandoned
because I can’t package mystery and leave it all behind.

Chug-chug the train’s a-moving down, down, the line,
my night time mind and I on a present lifetime mission
thinking, thinking, wondering, if ever you’ll decide
to ride my train to freedom and on to happiness!

Siyo sister I like well what is it you say here,so many times our lives are held to stale by the not deciding,learning,or growing.

Thanks "wgran" - making a decision is always the first and hardest part but I like to think that we all get there eventually - to the growing, the learning, that is.
