We arrive at the launching site
The sky is still dark, nearing
dawn
On the Florida coastline
Circling choppers slash the night
With roving
searchlight beams
This magic day when super-science
Mingles with the bright stuff of
dreams
Floodlit in the hazy distance
The star of this unearthly show
Venting
vapours, like the breath
Of a sleeping white dragon
Crackling speakers, voices
tense
Resume the final count
All systems check, T minus nine
As the sun and the drama
start to mount
The air is charged - a humid, motionless mass
The crowds and the
cameras,
The cars full of spectators pass
Excitement so thick - you could cut it with a
knife
Technology - high, on the leading edge of life
The earth beneath us starts to
tremble
With the spreading of a low black cloud
A thunderous roar shakes the air
Like
the whole world exploding
Scorching blast of golden fire
As it slowly leaves the
ground
Tears away with a mighty force
The air is shattered by the awesome
sound
Like a pillar of cloud, the smoke lingers
High in the air
In fascination
- with the eyes of the world
We stare | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
