The train

I tried to board that train one night
Ticketless, nonetheless I tried
Unfamiliar faces paraded before me, some worn from their journey
Others greeting another with the exchange of an embrace or a smile
The warmth of their simple pleasantries lit within me a flame
Howsoever I should climb aboard; my desire would guide the path I chose
As though my mind was no longer alive
I tried to board that train one night
Ticketless, nonetheless I tried
