Journey

Day 2 :



                                                     JOURNEY



Marium was sleeping in fits

The rocking of the train , the jolts

was a dissonance

life's ups and downs

I wish it was easy to find a centre

a mean without oscillation

Brian was watching over her

The book his prop , to divert attention

their love was futureless , screeched the train

no way out , no way out , no way out

She was asleep , exhausted

He was awake , in terror

I watched , an insomniac

Random people we meet leave

An undeniable imprint on our life weave

I watched them get off the train

A mixed pairing , of race , religion , culture

Never knowing their future

I knew their present

My inner I knew their finale
