Some arriving, after hours airborne, others are connecting, passengers and their kin

Luggages, plane cargo, are moving fast. As some arrive, others are leaving
The detecting machines, the sniffer dogs, strategically positioned, the guards, both
Armed and private agents, well positioned to contain any harm, or illegality
The fire extinguishers well placed on the walls, the fire engines, the fire fighters, never asleep

But at the airport, it’s usually tears all over, emotional sendoffs and re-unions
With unspoken words freely flowing, the long gone loved ones landing, those going out
being see-off, with no physical footprints to trace those flying out,
But a picture can trace memories, the pause is brief though, very brief
Because, time is the master, the real determinant of activities, everything moves fast,
Planes landing on time, others taking off on time, Time is the ruler,

one minute lost is a flight missed, a journey cancelled
