The Train

The Train departs
to an unknown destination
with unknown stops
and unknown passengers.

The key to it all
is at the controls--
a wary captain
who knows nothing of fate.

But who am I to suppose?
I'm but a lonely on-looker
up on my distant hill
watching the Train move on.

Away it goes, off to nowhere,
and all that I have is
the memory of its presence
and a small bit of hope.

It'll do what it must--
I've surrendered my control,
but I'll sabotage the tracks
to bring it back to my station

for good.
