Traveling back in present day’s past

On my way to LAX

Got the best seat on the plane

The window seat.

Cruising altitude is 32K feet

High above the ground

And just about touching the clouds.

The sun brightly shining

Classical music comfortably plays

Making for yet another awesome

Experience despite nursing allergies.

It’s been 8 years since I was last

In view of the blue and white.

It’s so awesome up here.

Prayers were in place for all

From the moment I sat down and

Will continue until we’re safely

On the ground.

The sun has began its descent

As the sky has hued to a bluish gray.

A few rays still light the distant horizon

As the clouds seem to pass by

In slow motion.

The wing’s strobe light beacons

Throughout the flight

Making our presence known to

All that we’re here.

The clouds look like an ocean

Of cotton balls as we fly over them.

I use my pink knitted shawl

As a blanket for now.

My cousin Pat gifted me with it

In case the plane was cold.

And it is chilly on here and I’ve already

Adjusted the air nozzle above me,

Besides, it’s a bit crowded

But I’m comfortable.

Don’t really feel like moving or

Disturbing the passenger next to me.

The sky is graying and blurring more.

It’ll be darkening soon.

The sky is now a blur of gray

With a single streak of white

Waiting its turn to blend in.

It didn’t take long.

Everything’s a whitish gray now,

A little bit of turbulence gently

Bounces us back and forth.

This is the most I’ve felt it

During the flight thus far.

I just wish I could get a break

From the congestion and

Running marathon my nose decided

It wanted to do.

It has apparently disabled

It’s off switch

It seems we’ve caught up with the sun.

Traveling further back in time,

The sky has brightened a bit.

And judging by the time,

We’re about 2 more hours

Outside of our destination.

The water and snack cookies

Ease light hunger pangs.

The sky is bluing again.

The view stays in constant change.

I’ve periodically checked my phone’s

Settings to see where we are.

First Indiana, now Chicago.

The sky is darkening more now.

Soon the night sky will come

And we’ll be at our destination.

The stars are beginning to show

We’re just about to there now;

After a short nap, I was awakened

By a gentle shake of turbulence and

The change of the engine’s idle.

I pulled up my shade and gazed at

The sea of multicolored lights below us

It was an amazing sight.

The landing gear had engaged

And we were on final approach to LAX.

The dip in altitude and the turn

To align with the runway made for

A nice quick moment of euphoria.

I watched as the flaps were engaged

To slow us down as I listened to

The engines shift back and forth.

The touchdown was smooth and

Once we taxied off the runway,

I thanked God for keeping us safe.

It was still Wednesday night for me

But by the time we landed, home

Had already transitioned to Thursday.

It was amazing to watch the sky

Change as we tried to keep up

With the sun but I’m kinda glad

We couldn’t.

The experience was fascinating.
