A Dark Image

Sitting here, looking out of my hospital window I see a dark image flying close by - at first thinking it was a bird, but soon realizing the size of it was a whole lot larger than that. A helicopter was landing just beyond my sight's reach on a heliopad the other side of concrete blocking my window. Such a fabulous lurch inside, as I recognized the dark image and it's shape. Loving helicopters, always, because in my twenties I learned how to fly Huey's. Good times and pleasant memories to touch upon and think over and over again. Splendid thoughts to bring me out of a reverie of sickness and pain that I've been going through for the past ten days.
