A flight of fancy, though real as the night, flight into midnight, perhaps somewhere beyond. Unseen but clearly heard imposingly far above, sound, jet scream and beyond , perhaps beyond the night. Briefly suspended in unfamiliar home, unsure in a foreign home, the dream is of comfort more foreign. Flight beyond fancy of strangers who boarded after dark, flying into midnight somewhere beyond and still further afield, surely for some good reason, it must be well worth it. There must be a reason, surely it's a good one, heard long after dark, maybe at the wrong terminal, departure, not arrival, back home, or away from it, a flight of fancy or beyond. 6th November 2018.

Funny, I've always wondered the same the as a kid growing up, and sometimes I still do. What's happening in the world while I sleep. "Thank goodness for the news" But hey, can we believe everything we hear or watch these days (lol) Awesome poetry my dear friend Lawrence...Charlie

I love the feeling of mystery. I often watch planes flying at night over my home and fantasize about the people's purposes.

Thanks for visit and comment, SW; as a kid I used to stare at aeroplanes cutting through the night, and always wondered what the planet would be doing while I slept. Also a metaphor for much of our existence. Very glad you liked it.

My dear friend, your majestic way with words stirs the imagination and the breaks the boredom one oft has with flying. This very creative piece, stirs deeper thoughts about the gathering of people aboard a flight and how Fate could deal a dark blow to so many. Great poetry my friend- a fav...
