Departure

Early rising
Before dawn light;
Airport glimpse

~~~~~~~~~


Departure gate
Foreign currency notes;
Highway moments

~~~~~~~~~


Time moves briskly
Departure lounge;
Smooth flight schedule

~~~~~~~~~


Airport protocol
Check-in follow-up;
Boarding pass in-hand

~~~~~~~~~


Trip entourage
Simple instructions;
Meeting on-site

~~~~~~~~~


Gateway in sight
Minimal delay;
Not much to say

~~~~~~~~~


Fancy frames
Attention to details;
Elegant manners

~~~~~~~~~


Just for today
Make things happen;
Clockwork persuasion

~~~~~~~~~


Overseas engagement
Courtesy call respite;
Polite politics

~~~~~~~~~


Look out and see
Sense clear agendas;
Meeting of minds

~~~~~~~~~


Ready for take-off
Flight control green light;
Chart new flight path

~~~~~~~~~


Fly the friendly skies
Pictures of home;
Departure terminal

~~~~~~~~~


Doing with tact
See the facts;
Words frame pact

~~~~~~~~~
