Lines

As an old friend
Tells me
Some things are
Too deep
For words

The lasting lines
Of a familiar face,
Lines that shine
Through suffering.

They are memorable lines,
Lines that laugh
In the face
Of adversity.

At this time
I hurry along
Virgin train lines

Through the long
Line shadows
In a winter landscape.

Seeds sown yesterday
Crushed but undaunted .

The reason for the extended journey round the country was that someone had fallen? in front of a train at Leighton Buzzard. I was shocked to hear, "How inconsiderate to jump in front of a train and close down a complete network particularly on a Monday morning." Fortunately I was not able to say anything.
