i've been waiting for this train
as i dance upon the track
ever since i can remember
ever since that far back,

it's supposed to carry me
take me all the way home
i hope it aint too crowded
hope i aint too alone,

the ticket was easily bought
paid for in life and birth
i just wonder if it's any good
does it really have a worth,

will the engineer know me
as he goes for the brake
knowing he will see me
hoping he has pity's sake.

oh, damn....no, you are not alone on this train...
so relate, hard to be objective, still, once again, so few words..so perfect a poem of struggling, aching souls...so damned human, and you make poetry...you...you reach right into the core...

"i've been waiting for this train
as i dance upon the track
ever since i can remember
ever since that far back,
it's supposed to carry me
take me all the way home "

again, bravo is not enough...maybe thank you, from the depths of one's heart, this poem...'in this station'....richard, you are SO GOOD, I...find myself having to stop and leave the screen for how felt your work is,,,,,,,,,,,, and you, damn it, awe again and read one's insides+++++++

there is such a sparsness to your work that is most refreshing.
Its a very good quality

Sir,
I do believe I know of the train you have been waiting for! I agree with Victor, this one makes you think!

Hugs,
Maria
