Not keen on flying but having no choice
the business woman winced.
As she boarded the large long haul flight
going into business class.
And unsettled stomach through flying
sat nervously sighing!
The plane on this day was less than half full
but busy in her section.
Many she knew were busy on their laptops
and they acknowledged her.
Half an hour later rising and heading east
her agitation increased.
She tried to work and then sleep but failed
then a nice flight attendant.
Came over to talk it calmed her tension
thinking he was very nice.
She had never had such attention before
happy to talk even more.
After awhile she fell into a restful slumber
when she awoke he had gone!
Not wanting to think she had been rude
summoned another attendant.
Felt she had to apologise but got an odd reply
for this airline he did not fly!
Nobody recognised her description of him
there were no male staff.
Soon after one of the engines caught fire
it was quickly put out.
But had to make an emergency landing
then there he was standing!
The young man stood making her feel at ease
petrified at the unfolding events!
Safely touching down with a jolt on the runway
a cheer went up with relief.
But the attendant was not there any more
now she was really sure.
He was not real but why had he appeared to her
she was glad he did.
Giving such comfort and strength on her journey
escaping down the shoot.
Back in the terminal where she got on the plane
composure now could maintain!
Months later still could not get back in the air
wondering who he was.
Then on a site about passed air disasters
saw his face in a picture.
Killed on a crashed plane helping others survive
his name Alan no longer alive!
How glad she was he had come to help her to.
The Foureyed Poet.
Oh my, you’ve gone and done it…created flight attendant ghosts — and I love it!
