Grain Train

Rolling through life's night is friendship's grain train,
A mile long, unstopping, unchanging,
In shadow, barely visible to passersby,
Not exciting, but unwavering in form.
Romance is a mere stick laid on the tracks,
Its potential only to derail and be destroyed.

As a writer in a house-world built of paper and ink
On a shaky foundation of my diminishing mental capacity,
I am thankful that friendship has direction.
It is unyielding, solid, uniform, there.
