Excited
Nervous
What will our next encounter hold
Clouds like fluffy other worlds
Drift past the airplane window
Bubbly worlds of white
As far as the eye can see
As my carriage of mega horsepower
Transports me over several states
To arrive at our rendezvous destination
Voices chattering, children crying,
Soda can tops popping,
Snack bags rustling
These are the sounds that fill the cabin
Of my carriage
As it traverses the miles
Bringing us closer by the minute
My prayers are given for the pilots,
The plane, the flight attendants,
The passengers
Thoughts rush in
About the last six months
How our conversations have grown
Now imagining soft music
Meditating to instill calmness
In my mind and body
But it doesn’t help much
Mega horsepower has now taken me
Halfway on my journey
These feelings still persist
Nervous
Excited
