Journey
A long
Time ago,
I took
A train
Through
Driving
Snow,
From a
City I
Loved,
To
Where
I didn’t
Want
To go.
I watched
The icy
Drifts
Of white,
Rising
In the long
Dark night.
I couldn’t
See the
Covered
Track,
And frost
Obscured
The distance
Back.
Across the
Countryside
We raced,
Over a
Wilderness
Of waste,
And came
At last to
Union Station,
Into the
Capitol
Of the
Nation.
Unhappy,
I did not
Think
It was
The best
Choice to
Go west,
Or that I
Soon
Would be
So blessed.
The frozen
Metroliner
Pushed me
Someplace
Even finer,
But
Plunging
Through
The empty
Snow,
How was
I to
Know?
