Listen to poem:
Preflight Starlight
Preflight Starlight
David J Walker
After a nine-month countdown
The small light
Ignited into life
Blasting off like a rocket
Seemingly slow
Hanging low for a moment
In the sky
then gone
Where and how far it will go
Is reflected in the show of
Unperfected engineers
Potential, they say
Is in the Stars-light
Soaring on a course charted
In the DNA of preflight
