We flew round the clouds, we really flew, <br />We circled the clouds, like we owned them; <br />We pawned some hours, left lying around- <br />Soon as we could unground them. <br /> <br />We looked down on squares from a tiny world, <br />The distance shrinking while we looked down, <br />Then flew toward the sun, as we laughed out loud <br />And saw the flat of the land, turn round. <br /> <br />We flew till the hours had all run down, <br />Back out the bottom, of the hourglass- <br />Then we gently touched back down <br />And set our feet again on soft grass.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-flew-in-the-clouds/
