Undisturbed Atmosphere Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Standing alongside the road looking up, an eerie
feeling fills me throughout, my spirit chilled
with something I've never felt.
Close to the airport, yet not a jet or plane in
sight.
Atmosphere undisturbed by human flight, not a
sound in the desert, not even in daylight.
Such an eerie feeling comes upon me as I stand
here, not far from the airport and wonder if I'll
ever see another jet or plane in the wide blue
yonder.
A fear grips me inside out, as the deepest silence
I've ever heard, continues and gets deeper still
with every passing minute.
Our world has changed, been rearranged by people -
terrorists - we've never known or heard of. Why?
No one knows - there's no comprehension of this
situation.
Will life ever be the same again?
Time will tell, yet I believe things have changed
permanently.
