Views from a pacing chug

The chug has begun
Shines outside a dull sun
The scenery is changing, fast
The city roads, rush, traffic, the crowds have disappeared
The green fields outside seem something from the past
Even they don’t last
Follows a construction site
A chimney, a small town
People looking on with a small frown
The light’s fainting away to give way to the moon
The greens arrive back soon

In this month of February
One witnesses the extended winter and the arriving spring
Dark light greens yellow and the dull browns
The crop fields
Autumned - the amidst growing trees, and lush
Oblivious to the gone by city rush
Stretches unto far, the land covered with blooming yellow mustard flowers
Sway away the young green wheat
All awaiting the April heat

A faint layer of fog
Hides amidst the far away sights
Small and distanced lights
Provide a striking sight
Seem like a star lit sky
But right here on earth, in front of my eyes

On this dark winter night
The pall of colorlessness
Soon veils the unseen sights
Inside I travel in a tunneled light
Outside I see far n fewer of such sights
Burning bright like a fire fly

A sudden blur
Some fleeting lights and color
Seems its a co traveler on the parallel rail
Making me realize the swift pace of my own ships sail
"Towards where?"
The question arises in the mind
Destination for today or
Tomorrows mid way??
All a part of my destined fate
Das all that I say mate....
