The journey

One day that way
And one way this, 
Another way hoping 
And another dream to miss, 
Follow the clouds over head
Telling their story of time past, 
A mutual friend is close by 
Passing old war tales so to last, 
A word mentioned to a stranger 
The train to work, delays follow, 
Families wave goodbye to all
The whistle echoes in a tunnel hollow, 
Clack-et-ty-clack clack-et-ty-clack
Laughter overheard, children shouting, 
Toys, games, cry for an extra hour 
The journey, the family & the outing, 
Motorways crossing,cars speeding by
Busy lanes the hustle in the vein, 
People here & people visiting 
Unhappy people in traffic in a lane, 
Memories of childhood captured by a smile 
Sun in your child's hair, a certain word, 
Photographs,stills,captured pockets of time
The memories are there, relived, revisit...reheard.
