Planes

Folder: 
Understanding

Some days

the jet planes

defy all reality, defy all gravity

history's intricate inventions

taking off without digression.

Another parallel flight through the night,

another question. Passengers with ambitions

yet to be tested, watching cities with a

birds eye view, this flight is a moment passing through.

Other days, they are just jet planes-

landing, for another passenger to arrive home,

nobody to meet when their feet touch down,

 sleeping eye’s open, to find nobody kindred around.

It’s only a matter of time to get back

to the way things were before the adventure

took their breath away. Passengers in hope of laughter.

Hollowed be thy lungs as they fall back

into reality, asphyxiated by gravity.

Now they must learn

how to breathe

all over again.
