on the patio
under a blanket of stars
crickets start their songs
lonesome train whistles join in
small town nighttime serenade
As a youngster, the monstrosity and power of steam trains obsessed me, particularly at night when their mournful whistle told me that somewhere in the darkness, travelers were speeding toward their destinations in the bright comfort of a well equipped passenger car.
I have lots of trains running in my basement den about 8-10 inches from the ceiling. My grandsons love to visit to spend time down there.

| Carole, you have rendered for us the rhythm of nature's advance to spring -- painted a scene that is clear, rich and full of the colors of nature's seasonal wardrobe change -- "advancing shadows whisper, merging with the evening dusk", is a serenade to the imagination -- may peace, joy and love embrace you this day and ever more my dear friend -- Jon Michael |
