The train has left the station
Oh yes, I got onboard
The route and destination
Both totally unknown
My choice made at a crossroad
We’ll see how smart it was
Head lost to heart the battle
Thus my path’s chosen
The train has left the station
Its course by fate destined
There’s really naught to do now
My part at present done
I do however wonder
No pretense I don’t care
Might I someday lament
Unseen strife and sorrow there
Still better some tomorrow
Some future time not past
Should I pause in fond reflection
Of a trip over too fast

I love this poem and feel as if I’ve lived it too many times myself.
Thanks so much for sharing your work here

Thanks for the words of encouragement, Scott. I’m trying to “reboot” this blog and I’m glad to have had you visit. Thanks for that too.

Thought you might have. Although we seem to be so very different (on the surface), I can’t help but feel an affinity with you. When I was over at your site, I was amazed . . . from the dragons to the shepards to Ozzie.
Thanks for the visit.
