STEAM DREAM
The sight of a steam train passing by
Had me thinking - though unsure why;
Its white clouds the breath of life to me,
Here - then gone - a memory.
Perhaps it was those puffs of steam -
Vanishing - just like a dream
That waking always leaves behind
To bring the breath of life to mind.

I used to go to school on such a train a million years ago! Recently took a nostalgic trip on the Worth Valley railway, which brought it all back - as does this. Thanks.
