Where Some People Were at 11:35 pm 10/27/21

As I lifted my gaze to the star-scattered sky,
I noticed an aeroplane passing by.
Bright as the stars but golden in hue
I watched in silence as it grew
larger.
Resting safe in my comfortable bed,
I thought of those souls above my head,
And their tiny world of metal and glass 
That didn’t meet mine, but merely passed.
