Flight-(November 2006)

Flight

The clouds float across
In the bright blue sky
A still unmoving ocean
That’s pleasing to the eye

Sounds are very quiet
Muffled in the air
Sometimes even silent
There’s people filled with fear

Soda’s fizz and bubble
Coffees stir and brew
Laughing, kissing couples
Who don’t even have a clue

My friends I miss terribly
My dog I miss with pain
I’m floating in this ocean
As it begins to rain

The sun, it disappears
Behind a stormy cloud
I feel like I’ve left my life behind
I want to scream and shout

No one would hear me anyway
So caught up with themselves
So I sit in silence and wonder
As excitement in me swells
