Awaiting In Anticipation
The time has arrived
Sitting, waiting in anticipation,
The day has finally arrived,
We are loaded into a cramped plane,
Waiting for this beast to take to the skies.
Foreign languages surround me,
Not a word I could possibly understand,
Surrounded by people, yet totally alone,
Which was always the bigger plan.
It’s hot, as the plane sits and waits,
A few people not yet seated,
The air conditioner struggling,
As everyone is impatient and over heated.
A full load today,
Not a seat spare,
Thankfully I have the coveted window seat,
Attempt to take it, if you dare.
Excitement rises as I wait,
The best part of a plane ride,
Is the G force on take off,
The smile on my face free and wide.
Imagine my surprise,
When I discovered Qantas’ free wi-fi,
The hours will pass quickly,
As we speed across the sky.
