~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.
