Far side of the sea

We board a flight with passports in hand. Tickets to the far side of the sea. 

No turning back now. 

Seatbelts fasten. Engines roar. And this capsule we’re all sitting in hurtles forward then lifts.

Up. To and through the clouds.

Sun pours in.

I look down at the neat miniature houses, roads, fields, forests. 

One last look.
