Premium Member Silent Prayers
In the wind, I hear her laugh, A nervous giggle – so sweet and wild. On the night, skies soft and bright, Quivering with stars, lit by a spark from God. In the leaves, I hear her and remember… Just yesterday, she was alive and so gentle, Filled with her dreams – promises and belief, Never questioning the peace that comes to...

Bought flight Insurance but, Lord pray … this won’t need. Made sure was here early, rolled in on a dime. Flight with me, without me, will fly out … on time. Hate economy seat, fact not in first class. Requested seat...

Young birdlings will soon fledge and fly Our builds will...

Premium Member Airliner In Storm Is Not Doing Well
Airliner in the storm is not doing well Pilot is having difficulty keeping it in the air Tossing and turning, careering with each stormy swell Stewardess do not tip us off, issuing us all kinds of care Each one squelching their own internal light for our sake My eyes are fixated on the dark clouds that appear with a glare 747...

Nihon
I’ve never particularly enjoyed travelling. Most people have long lists of places they’d like to visit, but for me that’s never been the case. First, airplanes scare me to death. Yes, they may be the safest form of transport but my fear remains nonetheless. Second, you must pack your stuff. Oh, that’s such a disturbing...
