The Journey

Everyday the train starts for with the passengers

Maintaining the time the train runs through the air

What a stormy speed!

And people get down and up at their fixed places

Life is always circling like the journey by train

Life gives birth lives, life builds castles

When life gets tired, it stops forever

Stops as well never to come back

Even then the train is running on the way

The way the world is rounding

We only keep pace with the time

Some stops and get down from the compartment

Some get up and start the journey anew.
