trance on a train.

Trance on a Train

All of a sudden,
a gust of autum leaves
passed by on the adjacent tracks.

It had awakening me from a trance,
before I could even be startled.

Looking to see where it came from,
scouting all the trees that pass,
in and out of view,
of the tiny window of the world.

I begin to focus on one tree,
and follow it with my eye,
as it comes and goes.

Gradually focusing on the particulars of details,
staring at the long branch of a tree,
then staring at the rare lush green leaf,
til all I see of the world is nothing but green.

Its then I wonder,
what am I doing on the train again?
