2021
there it stood, shining in the sun
soaked in water as if it had just run
it lit up the cloudy skyline
it was modern and divine
at first glance, it made me speechless
not for its looks or for its success
but the pride with which it stood
ready to impress
it seemed a thousand years ago
when it battled through winter's snow
and arrived here cold, but complete
with one last look, I turn away
and hear its heart roar to life
while it thunders down the runway
a few minutes later, there was nothing there
only the memories of what once filled that air
