The Train

Sitting here watching the trees and leaves
Grasses and flowers skipping backwards
As I plunge forward, onward to my destination
Gentle and steadily I move one more meter
How beautiful the countryside looks
Sweeping beauty as I see the farmers work
Shhh that was the sound of the horn
Cars, lorries and animals stop as we pass by
Farm children and adults wave
Slowly from town to town we reach
And cities to cities we cross
Outside, is hot because its summer
Yet inside my train is cool
For the air conditioner is working perfectly
I see farm stead and farm animals
The big and the small I take in all I see
Selfish and greedy you may say, but its true
I swallow all that I see
For behold the beauty of nature
Expanding right before my eyes unto infinity
The obvious oblivion, has taken hold of the unknown
