Turbulence
The sun was just breaching the horizon
Golden rays peeking out like a shy one
The air was smooth as we cruised
The cabin subdued as many snoozed
A bit of a roll and then a pitch
Like it was only gonna be a temporary glitch
But then a sudden bump and drop
I thought I felt my very heartbeat stop
The glory of Dawn now ripped away
The smoothness of flight could not stay
Turbulence now rocked the plane
Fear threatened the state of the sane
Looking out the window once again
Where peace and tranquility did remain
The turbulence confined to row 23 seat B
Was really just turbulence inside of me
No one else noticed, no sleepers awoke
It was only in my mind, where turbulence broke

Excellent write
Tony,
Thank you for reading and taking the time to respond. Your words mean so much.
You're welcome
Turbulence wherever it is, is most unwelcome. Nicely narrated poem.
Turbulence inside the mind never a nice thing and sometimes can make the world a difficult place, hoping it smooths out, Well written piece
