James Fraser Poet Sonnet

And Then I Opened That Door

We had heard stories relating to those years
Inquisitive young minds we were, guessing so bold
Told of images so alien that would scare our inner fears
As a young boy growing up, answers we were never told

Going through college, working hard reaching University
Aeronautical Science my quest, my graduation achieved
Boeing to Northrop, the B-2's stealth was down to me
I'm now with the USAF, Edwards Air Force Base received

Now I'm where I am, thinking back to those years ago
Inquisitive young minds we were, guessing so bold
Clearance I have, for inside me desires to know
Maybe it's about time, that our nation should be told

I'm in area 51, and then I opened that door
The stories I now see true, they've been to our shores

Andrea Dietrich June 29, 2015 at 11:59 AM by the way, did you ever see that movie with a similar name? I think it was called Area 51, or something like that, and it took place somewhere in Africa.An amazing sci fi movie. James Fraser July 4, 2015 at 12:32 PM I think I've seen that movie Andrea, it was a few years back, James :)
