The Window Seat II

Flight to Sierra Leone

2/23/11

Magnificent creation

Dawn's beauty shines shyly

Around the corner of eve's dark den.

My eyes, they did see

Or else I would not have believed.

Horizon, riding long and unencumbered.

Your line leads light across

The plain of milky dew.

Like the call of a shepherd

The clouds follow you.

The Window Seat

Descent to London

February 23, 2011

Alien land high above my head

Spotted with the blink of dawn

Rolling hills of snowy white

Pinkened by the sun's first light

This must be where angels come to rest

To rest their heads on cloud's full breast
