Falling Airplane

Now and then I dream in my dreary mind Of an airplane I can’t hear but I see in the sky. It falls toward the ground, eerily without a sound. And I’m in the middle of nowhere helplessly seeing A flight of lives in a nightmare helplessly being About to crash to the ground – right in the sun Without a sound being heard by anyone. But something wakes me before it ends I’m shaking and pouring out sweat. I hope it ended alright, as by some miracle, As it will one day be my flight, I’m fearful, but There’s nothing to do but be cheerful And hope some pass in more beautiful dreams While the rest of us wake from our nightmare-filled sleep.

This poem is compelling. Makes you think about life and how one can be big in size, something so massive falling and nobody knows it.

Such a scary dream turned into a beautiful poem! Well done, Amy! I always tell my self "chase your dreams if they're good, and fight them if they're scary" :)

Hi Amy , dreams are a beautiful thing but some are scary ,Image result for dreaming of plane crash Dreaming of an airplane crashing may be a metaphor for some aspect of your life that is in danger of ending quickly and unexpectedly; may be an indication that your goals or ideals are too high and unattainable; or it may be symbolize your self-doubt and lack of self-confidence in attaining these goals.
