The Beginning

Sitting there waiting,
I looked around.
Starting my journey,
Someone else ending theirs
Is what I found.

I wanted to ask those returning
How it was.
But I was belted to my seat,
And the other to theirs.
Unmovable were my feet.

Suddenly the view changed,
It moved at a fast pace.
As though in a movie,
I felt lighter as I lifted
Into space.

In the air I hovered,
Or did the ground beneath me
Lower?
In any case,
We flew towards the horizon,
The sight a beautiful haze.

Taking the quick way
To the next chapter of my life,
The aero plane
Glided in the sky.
The sun shining in my path.
