It was set on a day, daylight turned crimson

She stood looking up at the sky one day,
On a day, daylight turned crimson.
She watched as the shadow of a plane moved clouds,
Sleek and powerful.

Embattled within,
It left a streak as it passed her overhead,
The engines were a murmur,
Her silent wish bigger than the monumental sky.

Someday, I will fly higher than the highest sky,
And,
Someday, as you descend,
You will come to know,
Long before that, I have flown the skies with you.

Her Guarded Self

It wasn't the dark of the night that she was afraid of,
It was the clouds, that takes her high above,
Away from the rooted ground,
Away from her guarded self.
