The Train
January 1, 2012
Won’t you, won’t you
Take my hand,
And let us board the train together.
You are, you are
Waiting on the platform,
And I wish to join you there.
We wait, we wait
For the train
From here to the unknown.
Let’s take, let’s take
Our first step together,
And ride on the train,
Hand in hand.

I agree with Mira it did seem as if it was someone who was in love and he or she wanted their love to go with them into the unknown and experience wonderful things together. It's about taking that leap of faith. Over all, it's a wonderfully written poem. The repetitive use of words used the the first line of each stanza reminded me so much of the sound of a train. Very intriguing! Awesome work, Sammy! :)

This was about death? Think dark thoughts much? The poem's lovely, but I can see how it would be about death. I like it alot.
