Bangor to Euston

    Bangor  to Euston

After   Shakespeare’s  Welsh border
and   Glendower,  the portrayed  rebel,
 via   books   and  pictures,
during   my college  days.       
Now   almost  a decade  ago, a turn,
a  practical,  a chance,  a trip
to UK., It was  a summer  morn,
the Intercity  Express, from  Bangor
to Euston, a seat  by   window,
a lovely tour of purpose.
Driver’s double check if
All  the commuters  were on  board.
As  the  train  speeds  past,
A  feast  or  delectable  sight
The  green slope on either side,
Could  feel  windy    and  frothy
The   deep  watery  with small  ferry like.
I  recollect, “ Bliss is in that dawn
To be  alive”.
White  swans   gather by
A  faithful ,collective comradeship
In the  white  sheets of  water flow.
 A  deep  river in the midst,  
How much of  poetic  inspiration
It  gives  and  impetus  for  the
Disappointed  lives. As  the  waters
Flow  with a   message, Life has to go on.
Dark  sets in slow   reaching me to
Destination ,to Euston, lights
Illumined in the station,  platform.   
If  Dark is there, will  the Lights
 Shudder   and  Stay behind?
