Tracks

My imagination ignites dreams

When I see railroad track.

The thought of finding better towns,

… Maybe not coming back.

Reading all the schedule boards

Hanging in the railroad station,

You’ve no choice between adventure,

Or a disastrous vacation.

A trip across America,

Offers new promises each day…

Every dream you hope to find,

And hurt, has no ETA.

One can flounder in self-pity,

Standing out in the pouring rain…

Or one can find a railroad track

And wait for another train.
