Description
A calm soul at home,Clouds to my left and right,
lost in a white and blue heaven,
Upset earth as upset wings,
A rush of deleted time seperates Start to Finish,
A pilot may only grow so much when playing with time is at your fingertips.
A blank mind guides the body,
A blank body guides the mind,
Some fly on instruments,
others fly on instinct,
but me, I fly on adrenalyn,
Manned machine or Machined men?
I pick none,
Arms stretched out just like her wings,
Me and her are one,
It is 1941, Berlin in my sights,
A flash of fire strikes my bird,
I'm lost in a yellow stinger,
My atmoshphere a wizzing vortex,
I ballet a dance through which feeds me my last strands of life,
And despite all training that I endured,
Nothing could prepare me
To wake up on the property of an impartial enemy.

Very nice, somewhat confusing when you say "I'm lost in a yellow stinger", it sounds like it was from a German pilot's view. But other than that, very nice poem, I love it.
Also, the Russians did attack Berlin in a bombing run early in the war, I think 1942. It was bombers only in IL4s I *think*. There was no fighter escort due to long range from Leningrad to Berlin and it was really very much like the Doolittle raid on Tokyo, it did not make an effect on the war effort, but it was used for the psychological effect.
