Perhaps Perspective is Everything

The world is tiny from far above

A patchwork of squares and nature, of white snow and brown fields, of green trees and yellow corn

Of glittering silver buildings and off-white houses dotting the ground

Sparkling pinpoints of light shining through the dark as cities don’t sleep and neither do I

A myriad of autumn reds and oranges coating hills

Dark blue waters with only a boat or white waves to break the monotony

The horizon blurring to white far off in the distance, and sometimes I’m not quite sure where the

world ends and the sky begins

Watching the world drop away from under the wings, cars and roads quickly becoming dots and lines, skyscrapers looking like toys

Large cities nothing more than a small cluster of buildings

Suburbs just patches of cross-hatched ground

Large open fields of nothingness pass by in a blink

Lights fade away as cities fall behind us

And I can’t help but wonder about how tiny the world looks from far above

But it’s no surprise when you really think about it

Because I know when I land

My whole world will be waiting for me there
