Before the flight takes off Before our ascent into the skies Before I'm unplugged from the grid Before I'm temporarily disconnected
I think about what I'll miss, If the flight never landed. I think about the goals unfulfilled People unmet, sights unseen Words unsaid, tears uncried Emotions unshared, pain unfelt Fights unhad, hands unheld Stories untold, lives unlived
But most of all, I think of you. And feel Hope.
Written on a return flight trip. A few moments of introspection.
