Departing

I stare from a balcony
at a horizon that never changes
and I find myself reaching for you
in the distance, with your screeching
and halting of steel against steel and
the thumping of freight cars against your tracks.
I listen now to your long drawn sigh,
exhausted from pulling your weight, yet you carry me.
I watch through your eyes, as the concrete turns to grass
and the rows of brick, to snow capped mountains against the sky.
I watch the seasons change at a rapid pace as the ice melts
into meadows and rivers thaw.
I look ahead toward my destination but never back.
Youve grown tired of moving, yet the ground
has grown tired of me.
I drift along with the forward motion,
the hum of your engine;
and a slideshow of a world
in which I no longer have to be.
