distant train
breaks the silence and
my concentration-
thoughts now heading north
on a one-way track...

About Me
- Kristin Riggs
- I have had a passion for the written word, especially poetry, from an early age. I am first and foremost a child of God-a thankful recipient of His grace. I am also a mother, a teacher, a singer,and an overall music lover. I call the beautiful southern United States home, and growing up and raising my family here has shaped who I am in many ways. I believe that life- with its various emotions, experiences, trials, and joys-is a gift from my Heavenly Father. As a poet, I hope that my work expresses this. "My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him." -Psalm 62:1 Some of my poetry has been published in the online journals Simply Haiku and Notes from the Gean.
thoughts on one way track - love it, Kristin :)

I love trains so much and their distant mournful sound, and you brought it all back with your story, I love this very much Kristin :)
ReplyDelete... and the places, where they used to be, are to be found in your notebook. And your blog. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes

We seem to be on the same train of thought lately - Distant train and Distant lives...:)
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone...this one literally happened in about two seconds. I sat down and at my desk having no idea what I wanted to write about and I suddenly heard the midnight train outside. This just popped into my head at that moment. Those are always my favorite ones...the ones that happen quickly after a sudden, unexpected moment of inspiration. :)
ReplyDeleteYou've really captured the melancholy of hearing the sound of a train in the distance. Beautiful tanka Kristin.
