Legends (Julia Ecklar) -

Once upon a time,

You could hear the Saturn’s roar

As it rose upon it’s fiery tail to space.

And once upon a time, the men that we sent out

Landed in a strange and alien place.

And as I watched them walk upon the Moon,

I remembered Icarus,

Who flew too close to the Sun.

Once upon a time, they tore the gantries down

And the rockets flew no longer to the Moon.

And once upon a time,

We swore that we’d return,

But it doesn’t look like we’ll be back there soon

And as the Moon shines down

On the shattered launching ground,

I remember Apollo,

Who flew the chariot of the Sun.

And I wonder of the legends they will tell

A thousand years from now.
