Along the tracks

 


Fierce sun beats down on

rolling waves of verdant green.

The beat of song plays

along to the rhythm of life

as the wheels turn

along the tracks,

Ballast glistening

in the bright sunlight.

I see two hearts aligned

in the seats next to mine,

smiles and glances

from time to time,

as he kisses her forehead,

whilst she gently dozes

and I think

life can be sublime.

 

Pounding heat

mixes with the

rhythmic beat

of the wheels

twisting through

these northern towns,

I see two steeples,

so close they could touch

and I think of love.

How much

it can withstand

when its foundations are

strong enough.

 

Swirling through

trees, delicate sweet treats

flowing into the carriage

carried upon the breeze.

With savoury delight

I see a sight that will forever

be painted in mind,

the longing sigh

of a stunning countryside

under sunny northern skies.

And I think...

What I would give

to drink in the daylight,

to taste the magic

that fires this sight.

 

Beauty walks these hills

in the gleaming sunshine,

It lives in the still

of the summertime.

It feels the pull

of autumns golden time.

It lives. It breathes..

I catch it upon my lips

and it feels like a kiss

sent lovingly,

etching a smile

eternally to this face

that feels its power

wash over me.

I watch as a child

 Laughs in glee and awe as

ice cream drips to the floor.

The sun pours its love out for all,

and I think

I’m thankful

to be here to witness its landfall.
