Ever since I heard Saint-Saëns' “Carnival of the Animals”, I’ve been fascinated by, what I like to call musical onomatopoeia. The mimicry of sounds using instruments to create those sounds.

So, with that, I present “taking the train” as a kind of onomatopoeia (just a little) to taking a train ride.

taking the train / Story & Clark

au revoir, mes souvenirs
you’ve left me nothing but tears

once you served me well
now i sit captive in your cell

shaded in the winter of my soul,
fragmented thoughts, my spirit no longer whole

even the happy memories have past,
useless accouterment, like broken glass

once, you brought me great joy,
mocking me now, i remember things, you annoy

you brought me many things, but now, i say
goodbye to the pain
goodbye to the shame

Au revoir, mes souvenirs / Sketches from Madness

Threshing the Wheat

Ship under Weather

Five miles from port in the the northern sea,
as loud winds howling like the banshee,
She came under heavy weather,
the crew, as one, fought together
twenty souls, two hundred in length
they gave match to the storm's strength
She strained against waves and wind
the helmsman kept the rudder pinned
She rode rough running the trough,
it was time to heave to, turn the old sow,
when lightening struck a mast down, now entwined
the crew scurried to cut the rigging that it did bind.
Captain prayed: “God, don't bring her down”,
all men die, while unlucky sailors drown.
Now, like flotsam, tossed harshly about,
She did not give up, the storm burned out
With finality, the storm gave them reprieve
Luck held out, not a man lost, no need to greave
