The train chugged along
identical tracks, but the
surroundings kept changing
The journey of life
and death is the same for all
but people encountered are different

Lucy
This is so true, as well as evocative and universal. Love how you used the photograph and how you made it a metaphor for life and death. Beautifully done.
transitionofthoughts
Thanks Lucy :).
Ron Rowland
Excellent. We are all on different paths to the same destination.
transitionofthoughts
Yes, we sure are. Thanks Ron for stopping by :).
Glenn Buttkus
We follow straight lines, unaware of their circular journey, eating its own tail, where the end is but the beginning–again.
transitionofthoughts
I guess that’s life isn’t it? Thank you :).
K.Hartless
Powerful brevity piece. The tracks of similarity in our lives, but the landscapes as varied as those around us on earth.
transitionofthoughts
Thank you :).
Ingrid
Nice metaphor!
transitionofthoughts
Thanks Ingrid :).
sanaarizvi
This is such a powerful response to the challenge- I agree, the journey of life is the same but we go about it in our own unique way and harbor our own perspective. Thank you so much for writing to the prompt
transitionofthoughts
Thanks Sanaa :).
Susan St.Pierre
To the point with an aura of eternal meaning. Minimal photos, as well as, your poem. Bravo!
transitionofthoughts
Thanks Susan :).
