On the Wing

Years ago when I finally returned to my home land...the passengers in the plane applauded and hooted as the wheels of the air craft touched earth...in double relief...I believe...that we had landed safely...and for joy at being back on native land.
No such demonstration of enthusiasm accompanied my fellow passengers upon touching ground either in New York...or Colorado...but I...nonetheless...felt relieved and thankful...
That day I arrived back in Colorado...looking up to the sky...I noticed the many clouds and realized...that a short time before...I had been high in the sky...above those clouds that I could see now from below...looking down on the patched earth through the tops of the clouds...which were moving...like the sea........
