Plane

I can’t believe I just noticed 
You’ll laugh and say its just me
But that plane flying high, way up in the sky
Looks just like a boat on the sea

The trail it leaves behind it
Looks just like a wake on the sea
Is it the plane that’s high in the sky
Or could it be you or be me?

I’ve always wanted to leave the earth
And fly like a bird from a tree
To rise on a thermal high up in the sky
Unbounded, unfettered and free 

So the next time you’re out and you look up
To see a plane flying high with a trail
What a thrill would it be if the next thing you see
Is the spout from a solitary whale
