Lift Off

open the air
lock into
outer
space
but wait
in my weight
less state
more
like floating
in a water
less ocean
looking
blindly for
a knife to cut
the cord from
the mother
ship

Thank you Maureen. I had to reread it after I posted it. I haven't been doing any regression therapy; so I'm daring the depths of my own waters.
