So far, so good....
I waited all these years
to finally fly,
abnegating myself this pleasure
She finally got me to visit her.
Her cunning finally paid off.
I'm glad I sacrificed,
for once,
and didn't let my fear blind me
She showed me an evening
of pure excellence
elegance
seranading
and romance
But, I can't wait to get back home.
This weekend has been a blast.
Apropos, becuz last weekend
was Labor Day, and I took 7 days off
Two great weekends in a row.
Coming off last weekend,
it felt righteous for me to enjoy myself
Labor day, and this one,
I'm glad to be settling back down
to some sense of normality.
Can't wait to get back home,
take a hot bath.
and sleep in my own bed.
Looking out the window
at how small New York seems
how often I would ostracise
and condemn their bane existence.
Now, from up here in the sky...
I only see a reflection of my good times,
and leave this place
with a greater sense of dignity
Everyone should take a flight
at least once in their life.
How many times have she flown,
back and forth, to see me...
Settling down in my seat
closing my eyes
knowing in less than an hour
I'll be back home...
What is that awful noise!
What's going on.....
Oh my God!
Opening my eyes
and all I see is a ball of fire
Heat...
searing heat....
Oh my GGGoooo......
'...You don't have time to scream.
It won't even matter who did it....
Everything you know is about to change.
Your whole existence--GONE.....
And you hope, that in those few seconds,
you would have time to pray, repent,
and be accepted,
because if you haven't, or didn't...
Well...
You hope with everything in you
that there is a God,
and that you will meet on the good side of death,
into everlasting life.
You hope something you did was good enough
to warrant Him taking you in...
Besides, that's all you believed,
all your life.
You don't know anything else to hold on to,
at that moment.
And believe me, it is moments.
How fast your life passes by..
mili-seconds...
in time....
You get to finally see what is beyond this life.
And who knows how many souls,
in that moment will be saved,
or lost...'
Combining exercises....nice job
ReplyDeleteWow! Powerful! Thought provoking! Joyce this really made me think about my own mortality. I've flown many times, although I haven't flown since the 9-11 attacks. Flying or not we all must consider what if anything we have done for our souls prior to our parishing. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant way to combine the 2 exercises Hoyce but then again you are very innovative. This was so real fear of flying and then that happens nothing to make you regret it like that. I am even afraid to fly now
