a flight to Rome

is this what heaven
is like?

 

as we rose
from darkness
into light
mist and
deep cloudiness
earthbound
gave way
with little resistance
to dark sinister
impenetrable clouds
reluctantly
surrendered
to the deepest
blood red
orange
tangerine
lightest green
almost azure
endless skies

 

the sun
blinded
the unprepared

 

I slept
awakening
to blue white
snow on the
Apennines
and motley
hills, woods
and fertile plains
ending in sand
where the Tiber flowed

 

is this
what heaven
is like?

I fly a lot, too much really but its the nature of my profession. After reading this, You have made the dull and tiresome event a truly magical and etherial experience for me once more! Thanks Peter.
