Neville Jacob included this poem on the previous ‘incarnation’ of ‘The American Beagle’, so I took the liberty of recovering the verses and added some related photographs.

I hope you enjoy!

Amtrak Journey

Neville Jacob – April 2017

Whiskey – late afternoon sun

Low mountains with shadows falling

Across the desert landscape.

Train rumbling, jolting, 2,000 miles

Nearing my destination

Anxiety, uncertainty,

Clair de Lune, whiskey,

Warm, day-rich sunlight

Glowing and lighting up my carriage.

Light falls, raybeams and shadows,

And a long, long, journey …… nearly done.
