Destination Unknown

Am I aboard some fast train
With its destination unknown
With people getting on and off at their stops,
Once off, gone forever?

And yet seems like the ones nearest to me
Have a similar destination unknown
Perhaps travelling on the wrong train
Who perhaps have missed their stop

And then again maybe, it was meant to be
That we met
Destiny,
Or maybe sheer luck

Where is this train meandering
So deceitfully maneuvering the tracks
Seeming to be slow
But so full of breakneck occurances

And then speeding up again
To that destination
Ahead I see the tracks leading to somewhere in the fog
An endless journey into nowhere

Sometimes i am reminded
Of a rollercoaster
The gentle, steady uphill,
And then the scary, steep plunging into the earth

So this train journey is a gamble
Where I decide where to get off or ramble
To the journey beyond
To the destination unknown
