Legends
By Julia Ecklar

Once upon a time
You could hear the Saturn’s roar
As it rose upon its fiery tail to space.

And Once upon a time
The men that we sent out
landed in a strange familiar 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
