I’m taking off in a plane in the dark sky. My window seat makes me forget I don’t like to fly. The lights in the city sparkle like jewels below. It is a community, alive, and all aglow. I wonder what they are doing in their house- Cooking, watching t.v., or talking with their spouse. I will never see these faces behind closed doors, But think of them as happy, laughing, not a care in the world.

The "dark sky", where the "City looks like jewels below" reminds me about the Astronauts who said that from Space, "Earth appears as a shining Pearl against black velvet.

Yes that does remind you of that. I did not hear that before.

I wrote this poem on my cell phone as I was looking out the window, flying at night.
