Paper Airplanes

Does the distance plot against us... does it even care?

Dare my mouth speak
To this immutable distance
And ask, is it as lonely as we
Or is it aloof and juvenile,
sending our lovesick desires
On the backs of paper airplanes
Into the ether of wishful thinking

Author's Note

Thank you for reading.

I love how you have used paper airplanes here. Sometimes that is all we can do. The ether of wishful thinking. Great piece of brevity.

Thank you, Chris... your thoughts are humbling and greatly appreciated.

Such thoughtful words briefly shared. Close eyes and watch those paper airplanes - magic! Instead of seeing a rainbow.. there goes the planes! Thoughts are like that, off and away.. sometimes never seen again sometimes staying close in sweet reveries. Sharing a touch of magic.

Thank you for the wonderful review. Sometimes, we 2nd guess if such a short piece can be affecting... you've given me a firm answer. Thank you.
