Watching the rainbow
Of colored light reflect
Off the propeller tip
That circles in arcs too
Fast for the eye as it
Holds aloft the lives
Of all contained inside
I can see below the
Patchwork fields and
Irregular forest which
Like a giant jigsaw puzzle
Make up the miles I travel.

Lives lost in distance,
Untouched,
By the high passing shadow
And faint buzz
Proceed with day to day
Living or death
And I am suspended…
Twenty thousand feet
Overhead…
Like an unaware angel
That peeks down
But is unable to effect
Even its own haloed
Desires.

Lost in the hazy horizons
Offered from these chilled
Heights…
I sense the rainbow of colors
Reflected off the tip
Of my spinning thoughts.
As they circle in arcs too fast
For the emotions inside.

Methinks you have outdone yourself my friend.
BRAVO!
