[ IP ] The Airship Mission

Through the eye of the storm no one bats their lashes. 
 
 A magnificent crew, we soar forth. 
 
 Whilst the wind whips around us and crashes 
 
 into the rigging and sails to the North, 
 
 A lonely man stares heavenward. 
 
 Why did we leave them behind in this zone? 
 
 He could do so much, and tried so hard. 
 
 For what sins was he to atone? 
 
 No one knows the true harshness of the air, 
 
 its capricious flips baffle all. 
 
 We left him on the ground who is solid and fair, 
 
 from where none are afraid to fall. 
 
 Farewell earth and flatlands. 
 
 Farewell to young boys' dreams. 
 
 Greetings to the skysands 
 
 and the cool embrace of airstreams.
