Takeoff by Oralye Kiefer

Written By: Rachel Barker - Jun• 10•16

I look

Out the small

Double plastic window.

I see

A pristine white plane

Racing

Down the runway.

Time freezes as they lift

Off the ground

Soaring high

Into

The

Night

Sky.

I see them swing around

Into a fluffy cloud

And disappear.

My plane turns down the runway

And a rush of excitement

Runs through me

As I realize

My flight

Into the rising

Morning sun

For the first time

Ever

Is about to happen.

We lift

Into the beautiful

Sky,

The floor

Rumbling

Beneath us.

The ground shrinks

And tilts

As we fly high.

I think

Of all the times

I dreamed

Of flying,

Beautiful dreams

Mystery

Excitement

Just like this.

My head

Finally

Catches up

With the rest of the world

As I realize …

I

Am

Flying.
