Summary: written during a long night flight home




Sitting here how strange it seems,
A bullets speed, a lifetime's dreams.
The earth's strange carpet far below
what I cannot see I cannot know.
Suspended here between sea and sky
safe from all the questions why;
This gentle time before the day
arrives and dreams will melt away.
