Brenda Mcgrath Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

A Community Aglow

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.

Rainbow Promise June 21, 2016 at 4:58 PM 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. Brenda Mcgrath June 21, 2016 at 7:04 PM Yes that does remind you of that. I did not hear that before.
