a nostalgic fit

it was perhaps a midnight in the summer of 1979; me and my father had to spend several hours at bhatni junction. I had come from Pakistan with my father to visit his native village, aksaray, balthra road in ballia district. After the dawn, i witnessed a strange alluring scene, the sun was still to emerge, yet the rays created a deep reflection on the tracks that were all around both the sides of the platform. "Isn't it strange, dad," i said, and my father corrected me:"It's rather beautiful my son." After sometime, a train reached the platform; we boarded it, and a not-very-long journey brought us to Balthra Road station, and we got down. "Your grandfather's village is about two kilometer from here," said my father, putting the luggage on a cycle-rickshaw hired to take us to our origin from this small station.

This poem sounds to be very beautiful in meaning and expression. But i guess, there is a problem of the order it is written in. It appears to be 'azaad' nazm, yet the way it is written, the lines are not instantly concievable. Can it be arranged properly?
