Living Vicariously

Do you ever look into the field of azure to a plane just a dot in the sky and imagine yourself in the cockpit As it freely ambles by Looking down on this patchwork of earth below Unfettered as free as a bird having escaped the bird catchers net by gravity no longer deterred Slowly ploughing celestial heights Scattering seeds of hope When in the trenches look heavenwards A visible reminder to cope Rise above it brethren Reach out touch the face of God Draw closer to him he'll draw closer to you This promise thankfully applaud
