As You Leave (Free verse) by longships
An aircraft’s undercarriage leaves the runway, The sound of turbines fade, As a cloudy night sky engulfs the shimmering jet. Memories pass eyes in the cold air, A pint of beer stands by a vacant spot at the bar. Re-live the moments important to oneself, Moments that make up part of a life. Faces stare in the words of those left, Tears laugh loudly within embryos of age. A personal gladness concealed as you leave, Gone as the wind dies in a dust storm

Up the ladder: In the office
Down the ladder: smoke is rising
