Along A Running Train Poem by Indira Renganathan

Along A Running Train

Rating: 5.0


Trailing thunders in a swipe..
Hundreds chatting, hundreds eating
Within the boundary of my running
Along each count of a bogie..
Next sec
Racing brain mutes like a yogi
Standing still to realise

this poem is as though divine realization dawns upon the soul to get out of the rut and the same old foul (of din and clutter)
