Aldeen Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 May Mr. Lucas forgive my infringement upon his copyright. I hereby offer unto him all proceeds I have made from this verse thus far. Please be gentle, it's my first time: Ode to the Sky Walker On feet of fire you tread where None since Icarus dare. Neither for vanity nor pride But for intrepid spirit And the knowledge of Man. Upon the Heavens attained, You spread large your wings And glide upon the light of stars. Bask but for a single moment In the awe of what you have seen. Your desire not merriment But the furtherance of Mankind. Upon this mantle rest your souls For the Creator to keep If such be His will and desire. Roll ye downward steady Soaring high yet upon the sky, Gliding towards your final home. ‘Tis selfish to covet you back For higher yet your spirit belongs.

Peredhil Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 Peredhil enters and sips deeply of the poem Unlike the rest so far, I see a loving and painful tribute to the brave astronauts of the Columbia disaster. A reminder of the Icarus hope that makes hearts beat when they see a bird fly by - and that makes some want to follow. Thank you for your stirring reminder of the spirit that drives the Space Program. -Peredhil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
