Surface Flight Poem by Chester Maynes

Across the line of east and west
Floats a fleeting explosion.
Reaches an absolute scenery
Of wild beasts and tamed wolves.
Sets a mode oftentimes in
Full control of speed and
Motion.
Besides all the freedom
Is the great and wide space
That I travel so deep
And heightens indescribable
Journey from struggle to
Struggle.
Emptying my rationality
From loaded symbols and
Signs.
It painted a brilliant tendency
Captured in meaningful
Canvass and tapestry.
