You feel the rumbling of the engine,

the whirring of the machinery,

you are picking up speed,

your ears become clogged,

you feel pain but you also feel that rush of excitement

the feeling of going new places,

or in my case to the place you call home.

You fear many things,

but know that you are not alone,

many people realize the danger they put themselves in

when going in this terrific machine human life has created.

This machinery is a plane.

It takes you through the air,

across the world,

across the ocean,

where driving would take days,

even weeks sometimes.

These planes are magnificent achievements

to the human race as we know it,

but it is also a convenience like most things in our life.

This machine though,

is one we need in order to live, love, laugh, explore,

in order to find ourselves.

Maybe some machinery isn’t for humans want to have everything,

maybe it is simply for us to be us.
