Airports today
are the bus terminals,
train stations,
harbors,
the caravan assembly points
and crossroads,
of generations gone ahead,
the stepping off points to awareness
challenge or surrender,
the doorways
to scrapbooks not yet built
that one day
will startle emotional archaeologists,
amateurs sifting for treasure
amongst the detritus of dead strangers
friends and relatives
no longer recognized;
they are the gates to waiting futures
already lined with joy
acceptance or despair,
where walkways end in understanding
tears of life or death,
or stories to be continued.

Airports and the like, are great places to people watch and to think. I enjoyed your thoughts here, as always.

An excellent bit of penning.
