moving
when I feel most me
moving
quickly
slowly too

champagne by my side
family together
together
not always easy
not always fun
but always

the countryside 
not normally visited
provides a brief glimpse
stories
untold
unfold
to those on the train
this train

listening to
one of the great storytellers
who brilliantly expresses 
through poetry, art and song
across multiple generations
to those willing
to hear what he has to say

a soul who found a voice
to share 
what is inside
with the world
a gift that travels
across countries and space

transcending
yet staying true
like the constant 
moving of the train
