~Anywhere Going Nowhere~

Mighty is the train, do you stop here,
can I board with my doggie...oh so
dreary are these rainy nights

For I am running, I know not where

Distance me from my path, so that I
might find love the way it is supposed
to be...where people dance in the rain
and are happy to be

Oh! my thoughts be quiet,
Please
for I do not hear the train running
only its beams of light through the
mist the wind is blowing in

Is this in any way a sign?

Suddenly I felt a jarring...
as I was being awakened
from a deep winter's sleep

A nightmare, My beloved
Mother was to tell...as she
hugged my neck and gave
me a kiss...comfortable in
my home of plenty with
my faithful doggie near by

So, beware all of You, let the
terror of the Night Train pass

Knowing there is a Love Train
to catch as the whistle blows,
and the conductor roars

All aboard!

I like the denouement in this piece, it's quite difficult to achieve that release of tension in a few words and you have pulled it off here. The train metaphor works well too. Good work.

How beautiful Lady Vivian,
such a wonderful tale and
to have your Mother soothe
your fears when you awaken...

Love and light
Lily

I was intrigued by the title, and as I began reading "Anywhere Going Nowhere" I knew I was going to be fascinated by the words of this gem of a poem. As usual I was right (((smiling))). The night train ran off the tracks and the Love Train continued onward straight into my heart. Thank you for a delightful, lovely poem, Vivian.
