Still.
Everything is still
in the train on the sea.
Pleasant shadows
slouch around me
journeying to
tomorrow.
I sit in
soft silence
caressed by the
slow
plodding
of
time.
I sit
in the train in the sea
steeping in tranquility
enveloped by serenity.
The train in the sea slides on,
past clouds and cottages,
delivering me one step closer to home.
