Plane sight

I can't see it from here
but I hear the distant drone
of a small plane in the clear sky
beyond my trees

soon it fades
for me, at least
while for the pilot
it's just vibration

Lindbergh stayed awake
by keeping the window open
could have nearly touched the water
and saw things

What a day
to be in France
and see the little plane
come down to land

Yes it would've been! Amazing how planes are just an ordinary part of our lives, when little over 100 years ago it was fantasy. Good poem Steve!!
