Up into the fine skies we ascended
Friends and relatives we on the ground left
Watching us disappear heavenwards
And upon the dicey journey we embarked

As we further into the skies ventured
The numerous clouds we kept admiring
And glances down to the earth we took
A beautiful scene it was to behold!

As our journey went on hitchless
Something terrible happened unannounced
And our destination had to change
To one for which we ne'er bargained

Our sudden entry into the celestials we began
As against our earlier expectations
A mass exodus it indeed was
An exodus into heaven!


This poem is an elegy dedicated to all plane crash victims of late memory.May their gentle souls rest in absolute peace.
