Orbital

part three

So dynamic are the forces
that propel us to believe
we fly in thrust
and accellerate at speeds
which collapse us in our seats.

Replacing
the rain and storm at sea
with the tempest of solar winds
and deepest space.

Your journey,
gentler perhaps
but with great velocity,
no less propelling,

Consulting
compass points in four dimensions
deciphered by created life
accompanying us
umbilically
in a womb:

The once Mother earth,
now a mother ship
vestigal
of the unknown seas
that wrap the world in warmth

Imagine
them,
though so far from home,
and remember their unexpected force.
