Flying around Earth
from Australia to Argentina
I made drawings as I read
lines from the Ancient Mariner.
As others I know have said
Flying can makes us see
how very fragile our planet is,
and how very small we are.
Flying made me feel my place
in the space between Earth and the Sun.
It helped me understand the space
where the Ancient Mariner sailed.
Like diatoms and planktons,
we voyagers may be small,
but all together we change the world,
our fragile planet: home.
