Hope train

Hope Train

I’m on the San Jose light rail and I’m imagining it to be Europe and I’m passing through

new landscapes and uncharted territory. I peek out through the unwashed window, finger

printed with palms of tiny souls that had once believed this town to be of their hopes and

dreams. a voice in the background reminds me that there's hope yet. its a child's voice,

speaking in her home tongue, lots of roundy sounds and an unsurpassing enthusiasm

and excitement about this train ride, a silent ride for some who are tired of the day or

of a life chosen for them. I’m on a plane now...if he was here i would kiss him continuously.

I can see him now sitting next to me in this airplane seat. i still have conversations with him,

my dream- isn’t this beautiful, don’t u love that color? As I move on to open

my heart again to care for someone new….
