Seen from a train (Ode) by aliena
As the train hurtled onwards,
I glanced out of the window.
And gave a stifled cry
On seeing a hand in the blue.
Which appeared to beckon
The golden sun in the west.
Or was it outstretched towards
The Unknown Infinity?
The hand moved very swiftly
Sailing behind bare mountains,
And fleeing palms and trees.
Keeping pace almost with
The speedily moving train.
As the day advanced the colour
Of the hand many times changed.
As dusk set in its outline
only could be discerned.
As night descended it vanished,
But i feel it is still there;
Reaching out for eternity.
I slowly downed the shutter
And at myself softly laughed,
For since childhood it has been
my habit to descry
Strange pictures in the clouds
Floating in the skies.
