By J. P.

This 4 6" pocket-sized edition is perfect for the train, airport, park, or wherever life takes you

The Window On The Train is a small, pocket-sized collection of poetry and quotes that invites readers to pause and savour each word. The author uses natural imagery, personal anecdotes and clever rhyme to tell the story of a brave soul who finds strength and meaning through all of life's brokenness. From quirky analogies to vivid depictions of mental health struggles, it explores themes like love, heartbreak, loneliness, grief, regret, and nostalgia. Short yet powerful, it's a companion for thoughtful pauses, quiet journeys, and introspective moments. There's even a journal page at the back that invites the reader to write down their own reflections as they seek meaning in their own travels.

Poem Example 1

BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN (KINTSUGI)

maybe you weren't meant to leave here unbroken

maybe the scars on your heart are truth spoken

like a map of light leading others out of the dark

perhaps this is how you will make your mark

and maybe you haven't lost your genuine smile

because you live a life that makes all this suffering

worthwhile

Poem Example 2:

DISSOCIATION

i started on this train of thought

more eager than i should

and now I'm drifting off to space

i feel misunderstood

my words they briefly cling the air

then fall to the spaces between

you're giving me a hard blank stare

and you don't know what i mean

i'm dearly grasping on to place

and time and circumstance

but something left me with no trace

and i am in a trance

Poem Example 3:

SILENT SCREAM

you do not have to scream

at the top of your lungs

just to tell the truth

a whisper is fine

and actions more loud

but voiceless words

fall on blinded eyes

when you keep the company

of those who cannot see
