718. My mind and my heart

My mind is my life’s
Slowest train
Because
It carries black doubts,
Red jealousies,
Grey fears
In boundless measure,
Along with me.

Alas, God alone knows
If ever we shall reach our destination.

My heart is my life’s
Fastest train
Because
It carries none
But me alone.

Lo, I have reached my Goal.
