I thought I'd share these musings I scribbled down recently about the wonder of being airborne. Comment below: what is your favorite part about air travel? I hope you enjoy!
‘Reflections from the Window Seat‘
The sea an unfamiliar metal film
Outshining wrinkled land
To think this same and purer sun
A brilliant glare upon the wing
Illuminates the sand
A wonder incomparable, this weight
With surging power soars
And passes by the miles beneath
Aloof to all our lofty fears
And leagues below, our wars
So long behind, the ancients only guessed
The awe of great made small
Of gazing at reflected light
Suspended between globe and night
With death to break your fall
