Orange orb
silently rising
from the land
witness to eons
and ages
of human history
and so much, much more.
Primitives gazed in wonder
and awe
and some prayed.
Later men adored.
Later still, we walked
and will soon live
and work
and travel far.
It pulled us up,
taught respect,
and sent us to the stars.

and will soon live
