Miles and Years

Miles and Years

Miles away 

It is almost unheard 

That whisper of train

Metal wheels on metal tracks 

To me behind 

These brown stone 

Moss covered walls 

That house my gray life

That sound gives me 

An escape 

Of years 

To my youth 

I hear gulls and waves 

And can at times 

Remember my childhood laughter 

Playing with hopes 

And not caring 

For anything but another beach day
