A Train Called Time
Charles stepped away, from the train of Time,
He’s dropped his bags and left his mark.
With a look behind, he relived his past,
On this express journey, he called his life.
What a tour it was, what a path he walked
All those cold yet lovely night he he fought
what a wonder the warmth a smile had brought
What a laughter, his sons had caused
Now He remembered the comfort of Friends, That accompanied his Ride.
And the tears of many filled his heart
What an incredible, audacious Life. He said
as he left this train we all call Time
His Love
Tik tok, tik tok his watch Sang aloud
Dum Da, Dum Da his heart drummed along
With Sweat down his sleeves, and a bite on his lips,
His Eyes reached out, seeking to find her.
There wasn’t much to the ring he gave.
A little bit of Gold in a crowd of unpolished copper,
But there was truth to his soul with every word he spoke.
He had a sea of Joy tucked behind his Laughter.
And an Ocean of tears, her words calmed under.
To him this was Love
Were You Like me
Were you ever like me? Lost In a race, to outrun time.
Puzzled and awed at the complexity of life?
Did you travel a path,discovering a lie ? Indulging a thought, and left deprived.
So again I ask, were you like me ?
What if today his Voice, you hear? A voice so ancient it breaks into time,
A Voice so peaceful it soothes the storms,
A Voice so true it, it deadens those doubts,
A Voice alive it, it lightens your path
So again I ask, Were you like me?
