Strapped into a metal cylinder
Hurtling across the sky
Through blue and cloud and nothingness
Thoughts drift future forward
Till with a jolt we land
Thrust into this space
Where every thing is newness
Familiar still
Shadows of the past
Grow distant
Memories of other days
Blur into
This here and now
This moment, this present
Until once again we fly
