Trains
I've always been happy to ride on a train
The rhythm agrees with
the waves in my brain.
It's even enough just to see one pass by
The vision agrees with the pulse in my eye.
When tossing and
turning at night in my bed
Unable to sleep for the stress in my
head
I conjure a dream of a train running wild
And sleep for
the rest of the night like a child.
The list of the trains
that I dream never ends
I've even had journeys with Thomas and
friends.
And sometimes I shrink to a fraction or less
And ride
through the night on the Hornby Express
Then waking at
morning to face a new day
My worries and troubles have all gone
away
And off I will set, be it work or vacation
And whistle
like trains on my way to the station.
