Dawn of Departure

Rising with the Sun
by Howard Eskildsen

The middle of the night         The Sun hugs the horizon
Seems a strange time to arise   As we leave the runway behind
To drive to the place           And it seems hard to imagine
Where more than time flies      That there was ever a time

From security to concourse      When flight was but a daydream
Then onto a plane               And most doubted we could
With the thrust of jet engines  But a few must have believed
We rise upward again            That someday
                                             We surely would
