it starts with a check in.
to find yourself a place
that makes you most comfortable.

you then approach the gate
that will shuttle you through.

a little wait,
then the plane approaches.

you look at it.
however big or small,
you pray it will hold the ride.

as you come to board,
you tuck yourself in
and buckle up,
as what everyone else does.

you feel the rush as the plane accelerates
then starts to climb up.

the journey begins.

you know your final destination.

the ride may take a smooth path,
sometimes a turbulent route.

to pass time
you take a nap,
read a print,
watch a show
or eat a snack.

you may hear a distant voice,
the captain affirming the route.

and then
just then,
amidst clouds and thin air,
a doubt may spark your mind.

you then think
will this plane safely make it to its final land,
and tell yourself, another cycle is complete.

or come crashing down,
free falling from above.
leaving you unable to make any more a ride.
