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.
