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
