The train

#AtoZChallenge 2023

 As a child and quite frankly even now I pretend that I am rolling down the train tracks while safely tucked into my cabin bed on the train- 

As I had children I would sooth them to sleep with stories in my head and one of their favorites were the train sleeping stories 

There we were doing something that might as easily bring fear but in our small sleeping quarters we were utterly safe and protected 

The story didn’t include any sight seeing out the windows during the day’s travels nor any tales of imagined meals we would partake of at dinner 

Only white linens and pillows and blankets- and the sweet hum of wheels 

Ebbing us into the most peaceful of sleeps
