I awakened after such a bad dream
My face scorched by the heat of hell’s flame
I could have sworn my life was now over
My future never again to be the same
Sitting so content was I in my seat
My journey home was what I once had
I had closed my eyes for hardly a second
When I knew that things had gone so really bad
Stripped of my senses I was tossed in the air
No sight did I have of what did occur
A dream or reality I smelled death’s coming
For where I awoke I wasn’t to sure
Still strapped in my seat I teetered precariously
The chair I was in perched atop a tall tree
Miles around me was strewn flaming destruction
Pieces of wreckage visible as far as I could see
Yet I was alive swaying alone in the breeze
The absurdity of life making me hope I was asleep
When I realized that my plane was no longer
My ability to retain sanity became hard to keep
And so it was that eventually they found me
Though by then my soul had long passed away
The chance for survival overlooked by the doubters
Rescue possible if only they had looked up one day
