Joys of Life in the Passage

Cocooned in cosy comfort
Cradled by the rocking train
Coddled in an AC coach
Crossing rivers and streams
Caressed by lands and fields,
Conditioned by the city
Countryside sights refresh me
Carefree I sit in this bubble travel has created!

Between cities, I find my peace and bliss
Breath of space between cares and burdens
Buoyed by the scenes passing by my window
Breaking free from concerns that crowd my mind
Busyness slows down as drink deep of His handiwork
Business can wait as I take a well-deserved rest
Back at home duties and decisions await
But I lay them aside to expereince blessedness beyond compare!

Dark clouds sprinkle rain outside wetting the ground
Dull and dusty stations prove interesting wayside halts
Dumb cattle stand grazing and lying supine under trees
Delicate birds fly around winging it on the wind
Dainty grass sway and bend gathering drops from the air
Dryness departs, cooled down by the splattering shower
Decent human beings dot the landscape at their work
Drinking it all, I regain my strength experiencing the simple joys of life!
