Tonight,

Imagine stepping onto a train.

It's midnight,

The platform is quiet,

The world feels hushed,

As though it's holding its breath.

You find your seat,

A soft,

Cushioned place by the window.

The carriage glows faintly,

Lit by gentle lamps,

Casting pools of gold and light.

The train begins to move,

Slowly at first,

Then with a steady rhythm,

A rocking motion that carries you forward,

Begins to settle into your body.

Outside the window,

The night stretches wide and open.

A forest appears,

Tall trees stand in the silver moonlight,

Their branches sway gently,

Casting shadows across the ground.

The train glides past a still lake,

Its surface is like glass,

Mirroring the stars above.

For a moment,

It feels as if the train is floating,

Between two skies,

One above,

One below.

Far in the distance,

A small village flickers to life.

Clusters of lanterns glow softly,

Windows shimmer like warm beacons.

Each light holds a story,

And together,

They seem to whisper a gentle welcome as the train passes by.

Inside the carriage,

Sounds are muted and calm,

Faint murmur of fellow travelers,

The quiet rustle of a page turning.

Somewhere nearby,

The soft clink of a teacup is set down.

You rest your hand against the cool glass of the window,

It vibrates faintly with the hum of the rails,

Click,

Click,

Click.

A lullaby in metal and motion,

The rocking of the carriage,

The hum of the engine,

The heartbeat of the rails,

All weave together into a song of sleep.

The journey continues,

The train glides smoothly onward,

Its rhythm steady,

Its path sure.

Ahead,

A tunnel waits,

Its entrance is a wide arch framed in stone.

The train drifts towards it,

Calmly,

The sound of the rails soften,

The glow of the carriage grows warmer,

Unfolding you like a blanket.

Inside the tunnel,

The world grows dim,

Shadows embrace the train,

The rhythm becomes slower,

Softer,

A whisper of sound,

All that remains is calm,

Stillness,

Silence,

And then everything begins to fade,

The motion,

The sound,

The lullaby.
