@ 35000 feet

As I gently glide up the skies
As the whining looses itself into a calm
I look outside the window of the tube
And dream to touch the cloud with my arm...
I wish to walk softly through this mist
As the water shall seep into my feet
I shall loiter and caper around here
My kingdom, where I want to reign, at 35000 feet....
Every reason shall I have from here
To look down upon the ruthless world
Far away from the bustling metropolis
Far away from the inhuman unworldly world....
In the laps of these heavenly billows
My spirit regains its lost soul
I see joy singing along my way
Being alive is the virtue I now extol....
I lie down with my back to the stars
And see the emerald waters below
To all the turbulence and the chaos I see
I exclaim aloud, lie low, lie low!!!....
I ride the breeze as it tries to chill
I feel so light on this chariot of rain
No whoosh, no thump, no noise I feel
As I seem to run far away from pain....
I close my eyes and live this dream
A thud, a jump and the tube descends
I am back to the world I don’t want to see
My spirit sags back as again the pain ascends....
