The first stanza rocks - "watery air", "gravity tug uselessly", and "soapy
clouds" are all great phrases, and the whole thing seems to me like a great
description of the queasy/soaring feeling of flying, so it's kind of a
let-down to switch to the whole 'soaring effortlessly' mood of the rest of
the poem.  

Ooh, I just read that first bit again and found another good one.  I love the
way you take the cliche of the earth looking like a patchwork quilt and turn
it around by having someone sleeping under the quilt.  Heck, I just like the
whole first stanza.
