Straight to Heaven

Streak of light slowly draws itself

up and up in the morning sky

an airplane gaining height

an odd sight here

no airport nearby.

Where has it come from

where is it going on its

glorious bright path?

Straight up to heaven

full with passengers

whose time has come

whose future now exists

only in the spirit realm

until next time around?

The pilot too I suppose

or do we go sans pilot

on such a journey

express flight

straight up

no navigator needed?

One could guess that yes

for such a destination

we’re free flying

like shooting stars

darting directly up

no looking back.
