Sunrise... Across the Pond
the alarm buzzed
eyes blinked and a heavy yawn expanded
the lungs
totally awake after a hot shower and a
cup of coffee
dressed and ready to go
a long day lied ahead
a day that would end when the sun rose
again
tickets confirmed... luggage checked...
security passed
finally on a plane... let the journey
begin
rolling down the runaway
engines roared and the bird hit the sky
a small window showcased a new world
smaller the earth got... until it
disappeared under the clouds
all birds that fly must also land
a little rest... a bite to eat and
water for thirst
one long flight remained
through the night across the pond the
bird flew
when the sun rose
the goal was insight
the end of a journey
and the beginning of a new one
eyes heavy but energy came from
excitement
the Old World was new again
familiar sights was a welcome home
a tourist became a citizen
crumpets... the canal... cheers
no sheets... a duvet
the milkman... an ice cream truck
a step back in time
Liverpool... Manchester... London
now eyes awaken to a morning mist
a home across the pond
England
