Spectral Plane

When time to board the spectral plane,

No need for boarding pass

Don’t fret that you’ll be crammed in coach;

This time you’ll go first class

Best of all, no baggage ~

You leave it all behind

And the film that they’ll be showing

Is your life ~

“Best of” rewind.

The pilot knows the heavens well,

The journey will be swift

The love and prayers back on the ground

Give spirits proper lift

Started out as a silly ghost story, I swear...

Started a silly ghost story, that took a sharp turn... I like where it went... life doesn't end here when we are gone.

[Rita L. Sev]

Nope - just the beginning of some other journey... Thanks, Dale!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Amen to that.

[Will]

This reminds me of the book "Five People you meet in Heaven." Witty and endearing, posing a very good question about our existence. Nicely done.

[Rita L. Sev]

Love that book - thanks so much, Will!

[Michael G. Smith]

You never cease to amaze me with your witty charming poems. Poet's high five "SLAP"!

[Rita L. Sev]

:) A warm thank you for that, Mike!

[Michael G. Smith]

You left me hanging?

[Rita L. Sev]

*SLAP* Sorry, dawg!

[Michael G. Smith]

Very good, have a good night.

[Marie]

But it turned out to be a bouyant poem...

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Marie. Sometimes I am surprised by my pen...

[Sami Khalil]

On a spiritual journey. I love that. Splendidly written...:)

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you very much, Sami!

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome...:)

[Pryde Foltz]

Thanks but I think I'll go by train. Lol. Witty and clever write.

[Rita L. Sev]

LOL! Thanks, Pryde!

[Jack...]

Hopefully I won't be flying that airline anytime soon because I hear the security gate is hell to get through. Nicely done Rita.

[Rita L. Sev]

LOL! Yeah, they're sticklers... but this would be WAY better than traveling SEPTA...

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Seriously? I never thought it would have originated from a silly ghost story. ;) Anyway, I always have this idea that right after we die, the images of how we lived our life here on earth will be shown to us. Just like a film, you said. The question is, "Will it be worth watching?"

Good rhymes here. And the flow of thought is fluid. :x

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Blue - yes, I think it will be worth watching, if only for the education it will provide...

[OTownPete]

Yeah, but is there an elevator for those of us with reservations down below? That is the question. Your friend in words, Pete

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! Well, I think I'll have to smuggle a few friends aboard...

[Sheila Kline]

Oh, I like this much, much better than a ghost story............I can visualize the plane lifting away towards the Heavens as love and prayers send it along on a spiritual journey!

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Sheila! I may still write that ghost tale yet, but when the term "Spectral plane" popped to mind, this was what came... :)
