Aviation Runway

When the journey seems far away…
Stand still
You might already be on a runway.

See,
Planes don’t rush the sky.
They wait…
Engines trembling with patience.

Because distance—
Is not conquered by wish,
But by momentum.
You call it delay,
Heaven calls it alignment.

You see empty ground,
But pilots see direction.
And that long stretch before takeoff?
It’s not punishment
It’s preparation.

Throttle up.

Because when it’s time

You won’t crawl into destiny…
You’ll launch.
So don’t fear the distance.

Even the greatest flights
Start with a quiet roll
On an ordinary runway.

Apple On Your Head

They placed an apple on your head—
Not to feed you…
But to test who dares to miss.
You stood still,
Smiling like it was a game,
Not knowing…
Some people don’t aim with mercy.
See—
Life will dress danger like opportunity.
Clap for you…
While calculating your fall.
“Don’t move,” they said.
And you obeyed—
Because trust…
Sometimes sounds like instruction.
But tell me—
Who holds the bow?
Is it a friend?
Or a lesson in disguise?
Because one wrong release—
And it’s not the apple that bleeds.
So I ask you—
In a world full of archers…
Why are you comfortable
Being the target?
