Out of the Void and into the Blue

  Ripped out of orbit; flying through space.
  Ripped out of orbit; suddenly floating.
  Ripped out of orbit; time is forgotten.
  Temperature changes,
  Ripped out of orbit; never a warning.
  Flying in wonder; sleeping quietly; hurled into the void.
  Majestically floating.
  Nothing... silence... soundless.
  Ripped out of orbit.
  Today was the day I began to fly without wings.
  Today was the day I began to see things without eyes.
  I was ripped out of orbit and sent drifting into time.
  From out of the past; into the future, and back again.
  Such things happened today.
  Ripped out of orbit.
  The routine ends; the unknown begins; time becomes irrelevant.
  Moving blindly forward; into a wall of white noise
  Looking backward, hearing nothing.
  Feeling everything; all at once.
  That is how my day began.
  It continued that way... until now.~Jay Olson.
