A Ticket to Joy by Heather25x

I watch the fields go whizzing past

As I sit comfortably in my seat.

The lady comes past with a trolley

Full of mouth-wateringly delicious sweets.

I casually unwrap a Chocolate Frog,

My friends all chatting happily,

My eyes are stuck on the beautiful scenery,

Speeding past rapidly.

It’s like a potion for forgetting my troubles,

The pain I felt won’t stay for long,

This train is like a ticket to joy,

Taking me to where I belong.

I stare at the gorgeous meadows and fields,

Racing past the window,

I watch them the same way every year,

It’s like all of my secrets they know.

The sun then fades and the rain starts to fall,

And I get a different sensation,

Replacing the tranquil thoughts in my mind

Is quiet deliberation.

I wonder what will happen when

I’m done taking this train to my home,

Will I be left with the pain of before?

Will I be left all alone?

Hogwarts was like a relief for me,

Where I met new family and friends,

It’ll only last seven short years,

I often worry about the end.

But for now I will content myself

With the thoughts these fields employ,

And I’ll just be at peace with the wonderful moments

Spent on this ticket to joy.
