Sabattis

As I walk this lonely rail road
I think of those gone before
Of those who were looking forward
Of those who were running away
Hopes and dreams
Both anticipated and shattered
What did this path mean for them?
Pieces of coal, the power of the past
Rusty spikes and crumbling wood ties
Reminiscent of the steam age glory
No longer here, just pondered upon
I walk over memories
Tread upon tears of loved ones leaving
Hugs of joyous reunions
And the moss covered, rust eaten dreams
Of a new life
Beyond the railroad
