A Hydro-Static Plane

Can an airplane swim?
With water splashing in its rim.
Does it float?
After sinking under ocean for five minutes long.

Does the plane dive?
Like a king of the sea is going to arrive.
Or does it die?
Like how my dreams fall into the ocean before it touches the sky.

Do you know what I mean?
When you live like an airplane in the ocean.
Stranded in tides and waves, with scenery in vain.
Looking up in the sky, wishing someday I could fly again.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Hello, kabayan. This is quite sad. Yet hope would have us believe that nothing is impossible. Who knows? :-) Keep writing, keep posting. I'll be glad to join you in your poetic journey! Godbless!
