Flight

Flight
takes place
more easily
in my mind
than
in a machine

Lumbering
to lift
the body of
passengers
and
bags in the hold

I close
my eyes
imagining
floating away
on
clouds and breeze

Until
the captain’s
voice so loudly
interrupts
my
reverie

Fragile
soft thoughts
peaceful
disappear
in
very short time

So,
which flight
is easier?
Suggestions
for
one or the other…
