37,000 Feet Over Phoenix
Cloudless skies carry the day
and I'm away, like the winds
whispering sweet sentiment
into a soothing ear
37,000 feet over Phoenix
and I'm searching
the specks of reality
coming into view
the seconds tic slower
and I seem a million miles away
even as we sync, I cannot help but think
of the beauty in your sky
your eyes droplets of chocolate
melting as I turn your way
your words dripping elegantly
off those delicate lips
each one a breath of fresh air
I inhale, then stare
the descent is real and i feel
shivers shining in the desert
a horizon of hope, helpless
to the forces at hand
I stand, taking a closer look
I land in your arms
and smell the flowers in your hair
and I'm away, like the winds
whispering sweet sentiment
into a soothing ear
37,000 feet over Phoenix
and I'm searching
the specks of reality
coming into view
the seconds tic slower
and I seem a million miles away
even as we sync, I cannot help but think
of the beauty in your sky
your eyes droplets of chocolate
melting as I turn your way
your words dripping elegantly
off those delicate lips
each one a breath of fresh air
I inhale, then stare
the descent is real and i feel
shivers shining in the desert
a horizon of hope, helpless
to the forces at hand
I stand, taking a closer look
I land in your arms
and smell the flowers in your hair

Oh. This is relatable. Hmm. Those red eye flights used to make me teary !
Hope you arrived at your destination safely, and safe travels on your way home.

Something about simply passing through an area holding someone dear that makes that very air more beautiful, more potent. Like gazing in the direction of a loved one…it’s almost tangible. I get this one completely.
