The London Underground

I love to visit London

Travelling aimlessly in the tube

Amused at watching stress

Dressed in suits and ties

On way to work

And skirts on high heels

Walking gingerly

Unaware of admiring eyes

I love the hustle and bustle

Of tourists and visitors

Speaking different dialects

Moving in rhythm to the grand orchestra

Of wheels on rails

As the tube snakes through tunnels

A mile deep

I love gazing at the big posters

On ghost stations

Tingling memories of years gone

The London West End

And dramas galore

Of movies and books

A passion rekindled to my heart’s core

I love listening to “Mind the gap”

And the announcements

Playing “Echo and Narcissus”

From platform to platform

I love watching people

Chatting, texting, reading, dozing

Staring in space

Counting stations to their destination

I love riding on the underground

I love being amidst the chaos

It is so peaceful
