Flight 370 Things Suspended In Air

Flight 370 Things Suspended In Air

Fresh out of bed
In long disjunction with the day
With due reverence for the missing
Suspended in the air
All things held suspect
Something takes shape out there
But there's nothing there
We’re not quite sure
Nothing looks familiar
How did they get..... somewhere?
A woman then approaches
With every sound of softness
She told them to relax
With every confidence
This flight has ended in the air
It’s been suspended
It does not really matter
Things like facts
Let us gather more data though
We're good at that
They asked her why
Some things have no answer
We don’t know why
This conversation
Like the flight
Has ended
Somewhere in the sky

Debbie Duncan May 20, 2014 at 1:07 PM great write on that subject . I think someone is hiding it somewhere, just my thoughts ;) Earl Schumacker May 20, 2014 at 1:17 PM Hi Debbie, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for your kind words. Yes. Someone might be disassembling it as we speak and selling the aircraft for parts on the black market or something worse. What a hellatious experience all this must be for the poor families. Thank you again for commenting on my little poem. Have a great day. Earl

Judy Konos May 19, 2014 at 12:14 PM Too bad no mention of the "best kept secret" in the Military, Island Diego Garcia upon where our US Navy base is located in the Indian Ocean near where the witnesses saw a low flying plane. Meanwhile great poetry....Thanks Earl Schumacker May 19, 2014 at 1:03 PM Hi Judy. I'm always aware of peoples responses to my works, in our supersensitive culture, on sensitive matters such as this. My intent is to write a mystery about a mystery. I'm glad you see that simple point. I am interested in exploring the Island Diego Garcia mystery. Thank you for giving me that information. I deeply appreciate your kind response to my simple poem. Regards, Earl
