Homebound Train

Feel the rain, a collected mist
Making sane, no more lists
All you need, is a glimpse
Rocking on a chair
Watch the sun, rise and set
Play a game, make a bet
If you lose, not to fret
Nobody really cares
For it’s all the same
Another stake for surface claim
Playing tricks inside your brain
Riding on the homebound train
Where it goes, peaks and troughs
Along the edge, where time forgot
Past the hedge, a dream is sought
No stopping until done
Sooner or later, something breaks
Track is moved from an earthquake
Hitch on another, a different wave
Detours for everyone
For it’s all the same
Another stake for surface claim
Playing tricks inside your brain
Riding on the homebound train
Go through towns, cities galore
Back to the hills, the great outdoors
Stop for a rest, to explore
Miss your ride again
On to the next, but no more currency
Stay for awhile, a worker bee
Until saved, can’t go free
It’s the modern trend
For it’s all the same
Another stake for surface claim
Playing tricks inside your brain
Riding on the homebound train
Almost there, the captain states
A new despair, for all has changed
Could have moved or blown away
Keep on moving is all you know
Hop on any, as long as new
From what you’ve seen, is mostly blue
Not too bad, but not for the fool
Too heavy says the crow
For it’s all the same
Another stake for surface claim
Playing tricks inside your brain
Riding on the homebound train
