Suit case in hand, I make my way down the corridor
A long life I have had, many things I have seen
But as I find my way to my train, things seem to change
My step is easier, a bit softer and much shorter strides it seems
My heart is beating faster, more excited I have become
Things seem brighter, more fascinating to me
As I look around, colors are more vivid
On a bench, all alone, sits a beautiful red rose
It calls to me, as I softly brush its delicate petals
It’s as if it were left for me
My suit case seems heavier then it did when I arrived
Feeling weighed down by my clothes I stop to adjust things just so
Things seem so much bigger now, my heart so light and at ease
I stop……………sit for a spell…………..and gather my thoughts
The conductor is calling now…..time to take my trip
Back in time I have gone, in a blink of an eye it seems
Back to my childhood, back to when I could dream
My bags are carried on for me, too young for such heavy things
Shown to my seat, I sit and gaze out my window
This life I once had is done, my childhood again, has now begun

Life is strange sometimes. You buy a house and move into it's vast empty spaces, then you start furnishing, then storing and finally cluttering to the point that there's barely room to get through and every tiny step becomes a major engineering project. Such is it with life... both physically and emotionally, we build and clutter our way into a situation where nothing seems to work anymore... History eventually overtakes progress, and you can't move without triggering some emotional land mine you left behind long ago.
Sometimes a fresh start is what's called for... out with the clutter, emotional, spiritual and physical. And yes, I have to assume that would feel like a rebirth. I suppose it would have to feel like being young again. Way back when when we all carried less baggage, or better yet, it was carried for us.
