always hear the train

December begins with rain
and it's cold but
as we say here
at least its not snow
and as I say
you don't have to shovel rain
I will take it and not complain
found a dry spot up out of the rain
putting thoughts down no strain
on the mind and the brain
some might still say insane
and I definitely won't stay in one lane
long enough to be labeled
all the so called truths told
turn out to be fabled
just hoping on more sun
than snow this year
even when it gets too cold to sit
outside and clouds cover the sky
at night filled with rain
in the distance sound is carried
and I always hear the train...
