Dipping low

over the snow shore

the coins fell from my eyes

 

Cutting through the drifts

were blades

of evanescent light

 

Spectres reared

speechless

as the mantle tore apart

 

Slowly revealing the sleeping earth

far below

far below

 

We moved, together,

like sea birds

towards our final port

I love the soaring, ethereal feeling you manage to create

Thank you, KiriKit! Exactly the feeling I hoped to evoke. I will always find air travel profound.
