"The thing about trains ... it doesn't matter where they're going. What matters is deciding to get on." - The Polar Express

A Sam Scott poem:
22nd December 2023
-----

Listen to poem:
It came at the right time Just before my fragile heart Was about to burst with the largely Unnecessary stress of work Some things have to be completed The boss's demands Wielding power with no Consideration for the small man Or the small woman (not so small now actually) I think we are both tired But rules is rules They say "it's the journey, Not the destination" But the destination can be Important too.. Anyway we made it It's been a rocky road Travelling via the starlight Resting when the heat overwhelms There is so much to look forward to So much. I sense it's very nearly time.. I just have to find us a bed for the night

Oh yes, this is such an intriguing write and I really like those reflections that you've given this poem in a very philosophical way "They say "it's the journey,Not the destination" But the destination can be important too.." Wow.. I like travelling by train, it elevates me to a different place of thinking and perspectives somehow. The creativity in this poem is just amazing and shining through its metaphorical cadence too.
