The Eagle Has Landed

A tribute to Neil Armstrong

The Eagle Has Landed

One small step

changed our belief

as man left our world,

 once flat,

and mounted the clouds

as only Gods could achieve.

The Creator now takes Neil

into his space

but not before

he bore witness

to human desire.

To the fire in our belly

for new worlds

to explore,

new discoveries to make

as we seek our salvation.

And so now the Gods

have felt our presence,

man must leave

his footprint

on blood red soil.

You are far too good at this poetry lark Mister!!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Now your sleep deprevation is tipping you into delusions of kindness!!!!

[Nicky Sarti]

Nah, just making me emotional.
But then, that's nothing new!

You have written a wonderful piece to honor Neil Armstrong.
Could you remove the title,"The Eagle Has Landed" from the top?
It is a duplication.
If you remove this the shape may roughly resemble a rocket which allowed
Neil Armstrong in his awesome exploration.
You can also post a photo of the Lunar Mission of Neil Armstrong,one of the greatest explorers of all time.
I pray for the eternal peace of Neil Armstrong.

I heard on the news that he died...
Few great men live today.. and some just remain undiscovered... interesting account (:

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Yeah I heard about 40 minutes ago on the 13:00 news. Not sad just the passing of an era.

[Rhianne Ney]

Yeah... I heard it and it doesn't sound special but he's great either way
