Spending time in airports

To be somebody is spending time in airports

Waiting for the next flight

Hoping it is not delayed or being cancelled

Looking forward to arriving the destination

To be somebody is to make time meaningful

By observing unique people hurrying to their gates

Or study those who are waiting like you

Spending time waiting for the next flight

To be somebody is to utilize the waiting time

– in airports or elsewhere

Through deep meditation or silent contemplation

Or by releasing your creativity

By writing simple poems

    I enjoyed this poem. I truly love your tag line: “Poetic meditations on being somebody – Created in the Image of God to Glorify Him”.
    I especially enjoyed the line “to be somebody is to make time meaningful”.
    Deep contemplation is always good.
    I’m working on a “Guide To Airline Travel” and came across your site while researching. I have a section titled “While Waiting”. I’m pondering soliciting leisure travelers and frequent flyers for anecdotes on how they spend their time “While Waiting” to take off or connect. Your poem would be a great addition. If this is something that interest you and you’d like to know more, please contact me.
    Thank You.
