Have you ever flown
in a plane
and climbed above
the clouds?
No matter
how dark and gray
the world below,
above the clouds
the sun is always
shining.

A great lesson for life here, I hope that many people get to read this one, Love Duncan
Having a fear of flying (even though I have been 3 times on a jet) I have endured days on a Greyhound to avoid heights like that, but this poem seems so optimistic, it almost makes me want to hop a plane. So much spoken in few words. Good poem. Sincerely, Connie Webb PS I suppose we can float in other 'planes' above darkness, too. This poem looks like a good one to meditate on. Take care.
that's what we must do whenever we feel sad; just hop on an imaginary plane above everything else and everything will be fine..
that's exacly how i feel when i am in air. i have a lot to learn from you
