Today feels as if I am
On a train to nowhere
I am moving without
Any idea where to
The past is a given
Over and done with
To be gazed upon
With acceptance
The present feels like
I’m floundering clueless
Through my world
Blind and mute
Waiting to board
That famous train
With departure time
But no destination
Hurtling through space
Excited, all anxious
Arriving breathlessly
at an unknown place
Trusting that in time
Any destination will
Feel like I was meant
To arrive there

That's what makes life worth living - not knowing for sure but always in eager anticipation - love this one Fred
Thanks Michael,
it is true that sometimes we don't know where we are going, just hoping for the best.
Life is full of surprises and not knowing is sometimes very exhilarating. Very good write.
Just realized, it fits in a little bit with yours where we don't know what will happen next.
The past, "to be gazed upon with acceptance"; "Any destination will feel like I was meant to be there", both phrases gems of poetry, Fred! Love this one.
Mahalo Louis for your kind remarks!
This is great writing. It is like we are in the same boat or waiting for the same ride. The magic ride that will take us to fulfillment.
But we are malu, we are! As long as you believe in it, your ride WILL be magic!
