Scenes from a Life
Today's poem first appeared on the blog in 2012. Yes, I know I said I would only be writing up the blogs now and then while I am compiling a new collection, but I guess I can't keep away and several readers have emailed to say logging on to the blog helps them get their thoughts together, ready for whatever the day ahead may bring. My own thoughts are all over the place these days, and the new collection is proving harder that I anticipated, so continuing to write up the blogs does us both a favour. wry bardic grin
Now, I don’t always want to talk to people when I am travelling. More often than not, I like to enjoy the scenery or just close my eyes and go wherever my thoughts take me. For example, take the London to Brighton train that I've caught on average several times a year for 50+ years; by the time the train arrives in Brighton or back in London, I'll have travelled the world over, and loved every minute of it. Having been all but housebound during the Covid-19 pandemic, I have travelled the world in mind-body-spirit, and to say it has helped me to stay hopeful and keep looking on the bright(er) side of life would be a gross understatement.
That’s life for you, mind over matter, and who’s to say mortality is so different?
Yes, people have had a free ticket to ride since the beginning of time when the only train to ride was the Imagination Express ...
SCENES FROM A LIFE
Passing into spring,
Rushing into summer,
Rolling into autumn,
Rumbling into winter,
