I Hope The Train Breaks Down
I hope the train breaks down
Before the end of the line.
Then again; that’s a bit of a foolish thought
For sooner or later
We’ll get to the end,
in time.
I like the journey
But not the destination
So I think I’ll break my journey
And change trains at the station
Because I’m not quite ready,
For the end of the line
So I’ll carry on with my trip
And I’m enjoying my travels
Plenty of stations to call at
While life unravels
And we’ll get to the end of the line,
sometime

The first verse came to me a while ago while driving to work and I've laboured for a while on the second two verses. It's not about fear of death and I didn't mean for it to sound ominous, perhaps it needs a little more thought. Looking back I've written quite a few poems about life as a journey but so far its one that I'm mostly enjoying!
Thanks for looking in Amit, Harry and Lynn
