Streaming 'Cross the Sky

~ Streaming 'cross the sky ~

Day dawns from the window of a plane
   Red streaks across the sky
Dispel the darkness in my brain
   Sailing smooth as the crow flies

Upward to the clouds on wings a-glide
   Clear atmosphere on high down to the ground
Drowsiness from eyes so swiftly flies
   Streaming 'cross the sky without a sound

Landing on the runway right on time
   A feat of aviation quite routine
One moment in Chicago, ere we climbed
   In New York ~ of miracles I dream

It is magic how we get on an airplane and BAM we are in another world. New York is certainly that!

And when I'm underground, then who am I? -- Perhaps 'Shmoo,' short for my middle name, Shmuel! Love you back, brother! ~ Full of baloney sausage

Have fun my friend. It will always amaze me that those big jets can get off of the ground.

Me, too. And how come relatively tiny guys like you and me can't get airborne? LOL. ~ Former Flapper
