Memoirs of a Train Journey!

Why so reluctant, why so hesitant???

the feeling- I am stuck or is this liberty??

an enigmatic feel grips me

dwindled with flashes of pleasure and sullenness.

Faces unknown that no memories behold

had kept me fascinated all the way long.

Rippling arches in the river that passed by

shimmered under the light like a city of blinding lights.

Roads ran parallel to me

and left me in a deep sigh- would they ever cross me further?

Lands at places with plush green growth

and at others with cracks and crevices

that signaled to me of the ways of life.

At places one or two, there was even a rare sense of dejavu

but i failed to figure out a connection through my memory.

Musical notes were struck by a million nuts and bolts

the monotony of which even lullabied me at times.

A quarter more to go, and then this journey ends

but  the cliche goes-  "every end's a new start"

And as I think to put an end to penning down my thoughts';

.....I am startled by the streak of light at the end of the tunnel.

and that's when I know

its time to cocoon out into this bright new world!!
