Silence Train

Words are lost, are never found,
within the cabins, on the deck,
and rumble by, and pass the world,
and giving little more than thought,
it leaves the world for naught.

Silent train is little train,
for little learn to hold a tongue,
and leave the breathless air untouched,
unscorned by words, and never breach,
the silence of the ghostly speech.

Never spoke, but all is heard,
no more letters need they write,
nore spoken language uttered there,
for all are understood by all,
and pass away to night.

I really love your "train" series.
