Ode to Traveling
Rolling suitcases up the elevators
Watching bags go through security
Stepping through the gate to get on the plane
The moment of taking off
When your stomach feels like it is inside out
Flying above the clouds
but not feeling like your moving
the small ding of the seat belt
telling you that you are free
Then the final descent and seeing the first glimpse
Getting off the plane and experiencing the blow of different weather
Looking at the difference
between where you came from and the place
The smells, all different from each other
Exploring new streets and cities
Tasting new foods
all different flavors
Totally different scenarios
from unlike anything you have ever seen
Traveling, Living, and Experiencing the world
Excellent poem! It makes me think of all the traveling I've done and get even more excited about Hawaii!!
