Flying

Scared of flying
Dropping like a stone from
The big blue sky 
With a plop into the waters beneath
Also stained blue, 
And staining my face blue
As the last of my breathe leaves me
As I sink deeper and deeper, 
Becoming nothing but debris on the soft ocean floor

It is not so much death, as dying 
That I fear 
If I had to choose, 
I would choose for myself
A quiet death
My heartbeat lingers, then gradually fades
Not beating uncontrollably 
As the long snout
Of some sea creature 
Comes in view
And it snaps me in half

Accidents do happen, but the brave     
Choose to overcome them, rather than 
Succumb to them. 
Needless to say, I am a coward
I am scared that the plane's streamlined body
With burst into flames
Midair
And my ashes will be scattered across
The great Australian deserts
Perhaps then I will truly become
Part of Australia
