The Iron Horse

the rumble of the pulse
shaking at my feet
increasing heavier deeper
screaming its call
an eagle bound from the sky

pushing forward
relently and fearsome
quaking the earth as it moves
crying its warning's call
with a stallion's passion

chimes signaling
lights dancing before me
blurring past me
i know its presence
an iron horse pulls at the reins.
