night-train to joy

I am on a night-train to joy
wheels thundering
whistles blowing
I am on a night-train to joy

I am on a night-train to joy
trees running by
cow-filled meadows
I am on a night-train to joy

I am on a night-train to joy
the dark reads my fear
the ticket-man hurries
I am on a night-train to joy

would I be better off
if I could forget
just for one moment
that
I am on a night-train to joy

Very Powerful poem Hennie, it makes you ask questions of what you are doing and stop and think a little of responsibilities, expectations. your own honesty. I really like your poems.

I actually got butterflies in my stomache reading this...lol Very descriptive and loved the way it flowed.
The trees reach out as silent witnesses always willing to listen to your troubled heart. Nature offers her ears to anyone who speaks into the omnipotant silence. There are places that wait for you. You are loved....you are wanted....you are cared for. You are not alone.....you are not alone.....you have never been alone.
