A Time To Wallow – Part One

It’s when everything seems to drift by,

motives of the day remain unclear,

like a passenger train traveling on rails,

though stuck in a one way journey.

Wishing for a surprise inside the next

tunnel our eyes aimed on the quiet

reality outside our fast moving window.

When eventually the exit nears,

the mind begins to explore possibility

until the terrain remains the same, miles

ahead, very little change could confuse

the mind, trying hard to find a new arena.

It’s there when the design in mind

begins to take root, a silent reminder.

Stepping Off The Tracks – Part Two

My reality was getting off of the train,

didn’t want to depart my fantasy,

life seemed so easy without a destiny.

I looked about and saw the world in

existence going through their normalcy

as the day wound to an evening dusk.

I wandered about the station

half imagining getting back on with no

destiny to settle me into a reality.

This is who I am I thought, glancing

into the reflection of a train station

window knowing I couldn’t stay forever.

I looked outside saw the public car,

and knew now my reality wouldn’t wait.

Happenstance – Part Three

Now became the time to know beyond

this moment in the train station, there

would be benefits to hanging on and

not running away, though an easy option.

Life seems to always have chance to hold 

promise when our lives suddenly have a

valid purpose to move forward. It just

happens that obstacles and rules 

sometimes step sideways shielding shadows.

Just playing with words that time but 

there is a settled pattern we live by.

We always have to own our lives.

To imagine a life without any awareness

could be so happenstance, we might fail.

Inside our humility carries a dream of fortune.
