The Last Train



The Last Train

All by myself, I walk 2 the train
I must go, I can't remain
Each step and turn 2 look back
From where I came, and on which track

Now I must go, on my own
Fearful, I must go alone
Must not not forget what got me here
Thinking, what awaits me there

I contemplate the meaning of life
Leaving behind the toil and strife
My judgments of others.. that now judge me
Was my life.. what it was meant to be?

And yet there are joys to realize
The smile that happens in one's eyes
The tingle sensation, that says so much
From a feeling of just being “touched”.

Then look to see... if someone's near
Before all the tracks disappear
Is someone there to say goodbye?
To say I really lived, Before I die?

Death is Rarely on Time

I know not when death will come
No banshee cry or knock on the door
It creeps and crawls, a steady hum
upon the stoop, beneath the floor

A future, I can not reverse
nor prepare myself, with dying fear
A calling that comes so perverse
When it whispers "someday is near"

The final bell must always toll
An indeterminate fate of my misgiving
Yet death comes early, to achieve it's goal.
In life, when I choose to stop living

Well... I have given up posting political stuff..Dealing with the meaningless.. is meaningless...and has gotten to the point it is personally demeaning to even have to deal with it..I don't like saying the obvious...the repetition of it is demeaning..

So, I'm still interested in what other people have to say.. so I read some of the blog.. but no longer wish to write my own. I have got about 100 poems posted here scattered through the years..so I'm re-reading them and re-posting them.

I'm not sick..I'm temporarily not dying yet...Instead of disconnecting .. I am trying plugin..

I want to thank you and rocket for responding..that's enough for me to continue posting my poems..
