hand-in-hand
we walked down the vale
and climbed on the fence
across from the forlorn rail track:
to simper and wave or throw a flying-kiss
at the passengers on the train
that whiz by every noon -
chugging a melody,
tripping our soul.

there is something so adventurous about trains... i have always said someday i want to go somewhere far a way luxuriously by train... not in a seat,, but with a compartment and all of that... i wonder if they still have travel trains like that???? i am going to find out right now....
oh i adore trains. oh yes there are still trains like the ones you mention...i just love them so much..
The form and the words are beautiful.
the last line is just wonderful - tripping our soul - sounds like a fun adventure.
You've conjured beautiful images here and made me want to travel by train also. We have a train station here in town but, you would have to travel at night. I would want to travel by day. That way you could see everything passing by your window. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice day tomorrow.
The title so very apt!
:D

Ah, this is a lovely memory. Trains were always so exciting - freedom on a track. Nice post!
Our souls do trip when passengers wiz past us. I wonder where they're going, what link of lives they have. Sometimes it bothers me that I'll never know...
I've travelled in a train with a compartment many times. Usually it was second class. The beds fold down at night, with three bunks on one side, three on the other. It was kind of weird to be sleeping near strangers, but I was young, and took it in stride.
Once I had my own private compartment. I felt so spoiled!
ah that was so beautifully done. could i please request you to pen some lines for unchaahi? :)
very nice
I agree with everyone, trains are just amazing. The are a fabulous way to get around Europe but they get a little dodgy when you use them in my part of the world. Great job!
GOOD GOD woman........
No post since Thursday....????
How am I to survive?
Hmmmm!
it's like sharing a sunny day in our youth enjoying the moment and gathering memories..it is beautiful
There is something romantic to me about trains. I picture it twisting thru a sleepy, perfect countryside. You capture it well.
This is so emotive. I felt I was there with you
