Journey to the Sun

into the mountains, far away
driving, hiking, then to stay
in trees and meadows in the sky
a place to leave, rise up and fly

into the atmosphere, the air
rising rising up to where
molecules now dissipate
and ion streams become my fate

focusing upon our star
moving quickly very far
ever closer to its glow
dazzling sunlight lets me know

I'm immune from its turbulence
approaching I still have the sense
there's more below than I believe
temperature's falling as I weave

my way into a spot
dark and cool it seems a lot
like an entrance to a place
with beings living in this space

mind to mind we touch and part
then back to Earth, a sudden start
through the atmosphere, the air
in trees and meadows I'm back there
