Deep Breaths …
“No Step”
I looked out of my window, saw a stencil black, NO STEP. NO STEP.
There were nervous mothers with children crying in the back. NO STEP. NO STEP.
Someone bought me my ticket, now I’m on the wing.
Hope my angels are watching me, do I hear them sing?
NO STEP. NO STEP.
Those afterburners cut in and kicked us high. NO STEP. NO STEP.
The thin air shimmered, the sun cut through and burned my eye. NO STEP. NO STEP.
Someone bought me my ticket, now I’m on the wing.
Hope my angels are watching me, do I hear them sing?
NO STEP. NO STEP.
Give me a jet stream schooner or a crew-legged goose. NO STEP. NO STEP.
I’m a clear-air jockey when they turn me loose. NO STEP. NO STEP.
Someone bought me my ticket to the captain’s seat.
Will the shakes soon leave me, will I find my feet?
NO STEP. NO STEP.
There were nervous mothers with children crying in the back. NO STEP. NO STEP.

NO STEP. NO STEP.

The words “NO STEP” are stenciled on the wings of planes. I’m assuming the words are on Aeroflot planes as well. Taking some deep breaths on advice of a loved one and looking forward to the deeper ones I can take in the homeland.
Armodoxy has roots: Partly found in the land around Ararat, but the greater part comes from the universe itself. To be connected with the land and culture is necessary to understand. A trip now and then helps. But to be connected with the energy of the universe – to be in the flow – is essential to live.
Deeper breaths….
