Thoughts from an airplane...



High above
    the clouds,

I can see the sun
     reflecting off
of them
    in shades
of pink and orange...

below,
  the ground is covered
with huge
    patches of snow...

we rise higher
      &
   higher

through the last
  layer of clouds...

the sight
   is breathtaking,

dreamlike,

    almost unreal...

the land
   begins to roll
with hills
    &
rise into
  mountain ridges...

heading northward,
    into Canada 
        on the
 way to Chicago
  where I have
a layover

  on my way
      back
to Nashville,

    where friends
wait for me
    & responsibilities
and to do lists
    are close behind
        them...

   back to
        "the real world",
as they say...

    whatever that means...

For me it's the closing
    of one chapter
            &
     the beginning
  of another...
