passage of trains
By garycwh
the marvel of trains has long eluded my childhood those gargantuan metal snakes slithering clumsily on the rails from a dot on the horizon to the blurred distance that the ever faithfully parallel tracks seemed to merge i've always wanted to board a train couldn't care where it came from let alone where it was going to it was the suspense of its destination that always freed me from my binding chains being lost in eternity than bound to reality as years passed by and many trips later the suspense has loosen its grip the disappearing enchantment has painfully awakened the fantasies when time revealed that even the seemingly infinite length of the tracks has to come to an end and i have to get off at a station with everyone else some relieved that the journey has ended others still wonder where they are....
