Train Ride To South India Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Listening to my music as I travel forward to South India
to my friend's eldest son's house, loving this journey
on a train, an experience that will never be forgotten.

A totally relative and private particle of my life that
gives such pleasure, wanting to continue forever on this
wonderful expedition of learning.

Hoping it will never end, a spacious land, beautiful and
filled with greenery, foliage looking unique and standing
proudly in my sight.

Spreading wide open, this mere in India, so happy and e-
lated to be a part of something much bigger than myself,
a joy that keeps multiplying every moment I'm here.


Contemplating and pondering mysteries of the Divine through
poetical interludes, touching my heart and mind so comp-
pletely and totally.

Sitting here on a train with my dearest friend on earth,
enjoying this pleasant journey with everything in my mind
and being.
