Hey there my fellow poets! Blessings and greetings to you all for a prosperous new year.

Goodbye Wednesday

Flying through the mid night’s sky

On the way back home

The flight is fairly quiet except for

Occasional baby cries.

My fellow passengers both are resting

With their heads on the trays.

I respectfully have pulled down

My seat’s window shade and

Placed my phone in night mode.

The cabin’s lights have been dimmed

Since takeoff.

Soft blue overheads softly

Illuminate as individual lights

Count each row of seats.

Most are out though as

Random clicks, taps and other movements

Play alongside the engine’s roar.

Some light turbulence gently rocks

Us as we go about.

The babies are now quietly sleeping.

Perhaps God heard my prayer

To comfort the babies and allow

The weary passengers to rest.

The stewardesses make their

Way with refreshments.

I munch on mini pretzels

About the size of a nickel and

Drink some water.

Random thoughts travel across

My frontal lobe.

Hot and cold flashes take turns

Coming and going like someone

In a revolving door.

Time zone check read Chicago.

About another two hours or so to go

We’ve caught up to Thursday but

Won’t see the sunrise until we land.

The starry night sky is slowly

Beginning to blend into a faded blue.

As I raise my shade I can see

A blur of white slowly blend itself

Into the distant horizon,

Almost as if we’re seeing the edge

Of the sun’s rays and the start

Of light blue skies.

A hint of orange can be seen now.

We’re about 80 miles out from

Philadelphia arriving early.

Pilot said we should be there in about 20 minutes.

Looking forward to seeing Cali again.

Now as I arrive back in the present,

Smilingly I say, hello Thursday.
