In Flight

Hands clasped

Thank you Father 

The blessings of flight 

We are all so close 

So vulnerable 

Prayer delivering us

Into the safe zone of confidence 

Spirituality invested and connected

We may not lift our hands the same

The God's may differ

But our prayer signifies the dignified believer 

We are the congregation 

10,000. 20,000. Feet up we climb

Kindles open

Physical paperback copied creased

In flight, the perfect place to connect

Captain announces we are flying with Americas Best

I remember

The trumped presidential falsely elected

Who knows?

I could be flying under the direction of a Republican 

Someone that advocates for animal lives over humanity

Even the biggest birds needs assistance before liftoff 

A little direction and enthusiasm

Guiding you

Life vests under the seat

Whose saving you during the plunge

Explosions amongst the thoughts 

The deepest writers

The professional first class riders

Fine pieces of literature 

Shakespearian poetic chess pieces 

All assigned and seated 

Vacancies for additional leg room

Stretching across the possibility

Of what if?

I give all the control

All the direction

All the opposition 

All the discomfort 

All the pieces

All the tenderness

All the stiffness

All the acquaintances 

All the amenities

All the blankness

To you.
