The Train (One Shot Wednesday)

Come ride the train with me
all we need is a notebook
all we need is us

Trees bend backward
Shake and laugh off snow
The wind strips all of secrets
There is nothing left to know

Such benthic daydreams
braid colors in my hair
Lean back, face the window, face life with a dare
Me, with my camera
photographing the air

  1. I would enjoy this ride very much! Love the braid colors in my hair line, such depth in that simple thought. Great One Shot!

  2. I too loved the braid colors in my hair line as well as the shake and laugh off snow line. It gives me a clear visual of the scene. Thanks for sharing your One Shot

  4. There's a feeling of carefreeness in this poem. My fav line is "Lean back, face the window, face life with a dare".

    Nice One Shot!
