Browsing some recognized work...What a creative story in a poem! I thoroughly enjoyed it! The train trip was a great metaphor for our journey. I love the phrase ,"solutions lie within." That strong phrase contributes well to an encouraging story of hope.

Very well written with great insight. I related to this poem step-by-step. I really like "romantic" suicide. Two words that represent so much. Thank you for a very good read.

Don't we all wish we had a fatherly conductor to give us wise advice. I loved the fact that you used all these emotions as a place on your journey. You reached the destination, Hope, but had to experience and bypass all the other emotions to reach your destination. Well done!

Capturing the beauty of the place and narrating the travel experience tersely
the poem is beautifully written. Enjoyed reading it

Awesome! Many, many congratulations, my friend. I've been engulfed in family matters and am just trying to catch up on what everyone has been doing. This is another one for my bookcase, and I look forward to reading it regularly. A superb piece of work. Hadria

I am awe-struck.
What an amazing poem which took me on a convoluted and painful journey from sadness to hope with several pit-stops on the way.
I love the idea of a journey from one emotion to another and the fact that other emotions are acknowledged in the healing process.
This is definitely one of the best poems I''ve read.
Although very worthy of a six I only have a virtual one to give.
