The flight

Lift off, we're away
Feeling light, weightless
Green pasture, sparkling water
Signs of man, agriculture, symmetry
Roads and lines
Shining cars and coloured roofs
..............Loud cockpit announcement interrupts
Clouds drifting, suspended
Above them now
Can’t see the ground
Dazzling sun in an azure sky
Gateway to space an unfamiliar feeling
A break in the clouds, elevation astounds
Mountain contours and ridges
Specs of water and reflection
Vast lakes and streams
Behold our beautiful globe
Settle in the journey has begun
