Airplane
Keep it level, steady –
Maintain course –
Check the engines;
Electrical systems.
How’s the altitude,
And wind resistance?
If everything is fine,
Then why are we falling?

Raindrop
Please come in, gigantic in it’s beauty.
Swirl above, blanketing me in white silk.
I lie inside, protected from the Earth;
Secure… resting from the uncertainty.
Comfort me now, I am a part of you;
Snuggling against your pillow-like texture.
Forgive me if I seem to take refuge,
Few have given me such adoration.
Days and weeks pass; I see there’s more of you.
Enough to see for a thousand lifetimes.
I am but one small speck on your figure,
Waiting to be plucked away at any time.
Hold me tight, for I feel I’m slipping through.
Clinging for life, I fight the gravity.
As unnoticed as a yawn or a sneeze,
I fall, racing towards the growing Earth.
