The Train

A duet by Jen Lefever aka Think Speak Tryst. She is a charmer and she came up with this amazing concept of moving ahead and having a story cum verse..Do head to her wonderful site to take a slice of mesmerizing and artistic writings.

Blinded by a blur
Of many shades of green
With my heart left open
Broken
For all to see
Moving forward, not looking back I am leaving the town
For my next chapter
I boarded the train
Leaving my tears on the street
Looking out beyond what my eyes can see

Something different, time to breathe I have left happy times behind
I look back at those times
With longingness rooted in my eyes
I loved to be what I was
But, how long could I live in the past
So, bidding goodbye to all regrets Here, I am walking ahead
I have hopes and yet I am scared
Will a new step take me to places I would love
Or will my soul remain locked in lanes of yesterday?

Crushed, like the
Velvet in the seats
I hold my regrets
This one last time
Perplexed by the reality
I am leaving behind

Forgiveness, oh, how I wish

Things could only be so easy
As the train pulls me forward
One by one, I release my memories
Looking out the window

I touch my finger tips to the cold glass window

With the blur of the world

Moving behind the palm of my hand

Back and forth in time I go
As the train lurches me forward
I try hopelessly to free myself from the shackles of yesterday
Tomorrow a new sun will rise
And with it, the endless nights would end
Unaware of what my future would be,
I can’t help but smile
Because the thrill of a new ride
Was always enough to keep me alive
Finally, I have reached a new land
As I step down, I am amazed at the view
So many things are same..and yet they all feel so new

 

Looking ahead

Elements surrounding me

Laughing at my fear of yesterday

Embracing the fact that

I am here for a reason…

I am here for a reason…

Leaving you with things left still

To the imagining mind.
