Blue Sky Thinking was written by Welsh poet, Gillian Clark in 2010. Although written 10 years ago, this poem is very relevant.
Let’s do this again, ground the planes for a while And leave the runways to the racing hare The evening sky to Venus and a moon So new it’s hardly there. Miss the deal, the meeting, the wedding in Brazil Leave the shadowless Atlantic to the whale Its song the only sound sounding the deep Except the ocean swaying on its stem. Let swarms of jets at quiet airports sleep The sky’s not been this clean since I was born. Nothing’s overhead but pure blue silence And skylarks spiraling into infinite space, A pair of red kytes flaunting in the air. No mark, no plane-trail, jet-growl anywhere.
