Eastern Skies
(This one's for you, Grace, and for your country's Flight 370)
They are there,
In the East,
The ones who have gone on
Like seeds on the wind
And puffs from dandilions.
Their skies are wide open now,
Clear,
With endless possibilities
As they soar within a new plane.
The seeds alight in the soils of Heaven—
They are without boundaries,
Ready to bring forth their blooms
In the palm of God.
Look to the rising sun
And see them dance among the horizons,
Free from all in this world
That held their spirits back.
Their shimmers intensify the painted skies,
Bridging the gap between Heaven and Earth,
As we bid adieu,
Godspeed, with new wings.

Thank You very much Mlavender. It has been a difficult time for Malaysia. Prayers have been held in churches and mosques as well as schools for the passengers and their family and friends. This tragic event have however brought many people and countries together in one bid and aim: to locate the airplane with hope for closure. A few hours ago (24 March) the Prime Minister announced that after briefing by UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB), it was concluded that MH370 flew along the Southern Corridor and its last position was in the middle of the Indian Ocean, west of Perth Australia. Layman speculation is that it flew until it ran out of fuel and dived/sea landed. It had fuel to fly for seven hours.
Malaysia Airline has already spoken to the families of the passengers.
Thank You MLavender for the poem, indeed it has a kind view. God rest their souls.
