Description Train Song
The clip and clatter-clap
of the wheels upon the track
as they play their gentle song
from the engine to the back.
Lights are flashing; bells are ringing
as my life is put on hold
to the rhythm that's repeating
so the message can unfold.
As I listen to the song
box cars swaying to and fro
as they play a follow leader
while connected head to toe.
While the sound is going in me
of a clip and clatter-clap
feed my ears a rhythmic message
of a peacefulness I lack.
From a train that going somewhere
to a person put on hold
in my soul I got the message
now the message has been told.
