NOSTALGIA

In those days when we were launching I was only ten. I heard the awesome call to Space. I ache to go again! I long to see the Earth float blue Above the silver Moon! I thirst to see the rockets soar Pushed by their FLAMING PLUME! My nostalgia's for the Future! For those good new days on Mars! I long to know of gentle Beings Who live round other stars! I want to know the fate of Man And the fate of all Earth's Creatures! I want to know if Souls and Love Can dwell in those with Different Features! My Nostalgia's for the Future For those good new days Above! I want to know if times of war Give way to times of Love. I want to know of where we GO Not where we've simply been! My nostalgia's for tomorrow For the stars beyond the Sun. Though we have gone ten thousand years Our Journey's just begun!
