contentedly waiting for nothing in particular the ginger cat sat on the express train London to Inverness running through shiny black midnight in 1950s calm from her golden eyes she sees the compartment door lying slightly ajar all around her the sounds of steam and the clack clack of otherwise silent travel past fields still green in the dark houses grey with dull red roofs inside the world of husbands and wives and little families all asleep buttery warmth wells from the underseat heaters she purrs appreciatively the seat is plush red patterened and her claws scrape in sensuous motion on its surface on the walls are faded photographs of landscapes lost in time brown old hills calm and serene beneath tinted blue skies and lakes lying inviting in peaceful places you ache to visit in the small hours of dawn you can imagine the whole world waiting and falling dreaming through the last carriage we see the plume of grey smoke spiraling big black wheels disappear into starlight the tracks are quiet as night and all is magic dark |

Lovely images. Feels like i'm looking an old black and whit photo. "Those who will not learn to use this instrument well cannot be saved by an expanded alphabet; they will only afflict us with expanded gibberish" ~ |

Allan~ Quite the trip ... enjoyed the imagery so very much. As I read it aloud, I could hear the sounds of the train in the night. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Allan sounds like fairy-tale world. Have you thought of writing a fairy tale? I bet you'd be good. Lotharingia "Dreams are life, reality, creation" Miguel de Unanumo |

I really enjoyed all the images this brought to mind... With a little piece of tomorrow, You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye. Because today won't last forever, And the past will only make you cry. |
