Whispers on the Train

[Tejas Koli]

In the train's embrace, a weary young boy sits,
Lost in thoughts of a life he desperately wishes to outwit.
His mind wanders through the chaos of his days,
Dreaming of a future bathed in brighter sunrays.

A symphony of clattering wheels and fleeting sights,
His regular, hectic life consumes his days and nights.
But amidst the hustle, a flicker of hope takes flight,
He yearns for a better tomorrow, shining ever so bright.

His youthful eyes gaze out the window's frame,
As landscapes rush past, he lets his dreams reclaim.
A whisper in his heart whispers of a life renewed,
Where burdens are lifted, where joy is pursued.

He envisions a world where worries are laid to rest,
A place where peace and comfort are his daily guest.
He dreams of a home filled with love and laughter,
Where he can live without fear of what comes after.

But as dreams blossom, reality's grip takes hold,
A bittersweet truth, a tale often untold.
For his youthful vigor may soon give way to age,
And time's passage may leave him locked in a cage.

A question lingers in the corners of his mind,
Will his dreams manifest before he turns blind?
He ponders the cost of a life lived comfortably,
The sacrifice of youth, the trade-off eventually.

Yet, undeterred, he resolves to seize the day,
To work tirelessly, paving his own way.
For he knows that dreams are not confined by years,
And the fire within can dispel all his fears.

In the train's steady rhythm, he finds solace deep,
In his heart, determination begins to creep.
For every mile traveled, his dreams gain momentum,
Fueled by his spirit, relentless and unwavering.

So, as the train hurtles forward, he sits in reflection,
Balancing dreams and the weight of life's projection.
He resolves to chase his aspirations, come what may,
Believing in the power of hope, day after day.

For the young boy knows, in the depths of his core,
That dreams can transform, even when hearts are sore.
And though time may weather his bones and his skin,
His dreams will endure, etched forever within.
