The Train of All the Lands
What could be better than the sight of my room
After a day which nearly did echo with the Devil's name
A day running around to the whims of my boss
A day during which I did feel that the best part of myself was at a loss
What could be better than a peaceful night
Thought I, feeling ecstatic at my cozy room's light
Why, I would just complete this stubborn paper
And drown in a most needed slumber
But hey, the moment that I opened my drawer
In search of a pen to write, oh such a thing so proper
That a little something made me jump
Yes, listening closely, I realized that, coming from my window, was a bump
I opened the curtains with a bold stature
And stood looking at what lay in front of me with, in my heart, a blur
There, stood a huge purple train
Come and join us for a ride, was the driver's refrain
Come, jump in through the window
You shall not regret this journey tomorrow
Come, jump in, it is the journey of a lifetime
It is a journey everyone enjoys at bedtime!
I hesitated only for two seconds
Then, I went through the window
And soon was in the train, going where it shall go
Going to whichever dreams it wishes to ascend
Wow, the journey was magnificent
I was treated like a Queen, given all I desired
From a sip of brandy
To a bite of candy
We went to the lands I have always been dreaming of
There where princes win against the dragons which do rave
There where princesses are given their worth
There where love itself is made into an element of worth
We went to the lands of the mystical creatures
I enjoyed with them more than one magical trick
Why, I did attempt a magician's trick
Why, I did play the role of a most promising heroine
We went to the land of the Gods
I did explain to them that dedicated to them are all my odes
I saw the real nature of paradise
I saw the hidden part of those that we call, skies!
Finally we went to some strange land
Make it in your home indeed
Said to me the driver of the train
You shall be here, the only one to reign
I hesitated, knowing that on Earth, does await for me, my duty
My life, and everything else, that it shall come the time of my demise
That someday, I shall wake up to some other reality
That waiting for me, is my muse
I shall go back, I said, I am made of strength
I shall face it all, I trust my faith
And I did wake up in my cozy bed
Ready to face another day in this world of dread!
It was indeed a most lovely trip
Why, now, I shall remember it as such
For gone is the train
The train of all the lands!
