That Wintry Ride on a Train

 


One wintry day, when the world was submerged in snow,

The train whizzed its way without a care,

The quiet trail ahead was met with its wheels grinding on metal rails,

and I welcomed its noise in my wake.


Not that I slept the whole way through,

But when I did, I heard not the train.

The noise, found not, its way

to my head.


A book lay on my lap,

with open pages unread

While my mind envisioned

The snow's beautiful spread

of white chiffon, and a silky ensemble

on landscapes that once breathed life

as you and I do.


Oh, what magnificent vision I imagined

It was as if the clouds above

had thrown about sprinkles of flakes.

and filled the whole land with a beautiful glaze.


Oh, yes, and the story?

I wish I knew what the ending would be like

So I read the words, turned the pages

until at last

I found the story has come to an end.


For what else could I do until I

reached the destination 

The train and I were meant to have 

on that wintry ride when the snow fell like rain.

Hey all, I have a new book for you to read for free. 

The Frenchman and His Lady is free to read on @Inkitt.

It's a romantic-comedy, and you'll love it. If you liked the story, please share, like, and leave a review.

Thank you.

Plus, don't forget the duo who painted the streets of Trivandrum with a love story on a hot summer's day.
