rain falling, mist rising, darkness beckons. I clamber out of bed to join the red light train bare feet on a cold concrete floor soon shod feet on a metal pedal as you push down, to join the red light train cresting the dark hill the train stretches out before you you latch onto the back sometimes with care other times with annoyance so begins your day, for most, so begins everyday the train has life and pace of its own each day is a new train, always dynamic, ever-changing it moves at its own unique pace like a slinky, up and over the rolling hills expanding and contracting moving at the pace of the slowest Like life... the train does not encourage one to look beyond the red lights getting on and off causes frustration, it takes time, patience and determination once you commit, you're hooked that's why it's refreshing to not ride the train everyday Like life..... one needs change, new challenges, new trains a chance to ride the rails alone, breaking new ground create your own red light train trail-blaze your own path create new uncharted rails be your own red light train driving into a new sunrise
