“I watched as he ignored the world and focused on his hands. He creased a simple paper plane and dreamt of other lands. I watched him reach to throw that plane into the open sky. A passing breeze upheld its wings and made the paper fly. I watched a pleasant smile control his lips throughout the flight, until the little paper plane had floated out of sight. I hoped to see him chase the plane into the light of day. Instead, he creased another one and threw it too away.” — Richelle E. Goodrich
I watched as he ignored the world
and focused on his hands.
He creased a simple paper plane
and dreamt of other lands.
I watched him reach to throw that plane
into the open sky.
A passing breeze upheld its wings
and made the paper fly.
I watched a pleasant smile control
his lips throughout the flight,
until the little paper plane
had floated out of sight.
I hoped to see him chase the plane
into the light of day.
Instead, he creased another one
and threw it too away.
