Daybreak: Observed From An Airline Window

The sky shone gaunt gold on the lip of the storm before the anvil shaped clouds advanced upon the burning margins of the world Like a dream the thunder rolled away leaving cotton candy swirls before a spreading dawn Gentle white horse clouds appeared pulling pastel chariots bearing angels - rainbows, tinted on their snowy wings Down they plunged gilt-edged, into a pit of pure white popcorn clouds Feeling God-like before the breakfast service I watched delicate washes of pale lavender mist into daylight. Dedicated to Connie Marcum Wong who worked as a flight attendant for many years.
