Look up. What do you see?

There once was a skyscraper,
tall as the sky, bright as the ocean,
in the midsummer sun.

There once was a rocket,
white as a glacier, strong as the wind,
just learning to run.

There once was a dragon,
wild as lightning, proud as the Moon,
in the full of the night.

There once was a story,
sharp as frostbite, wise as an eagle,
on his last daring flight.

Here is a starship,
tense as a storm cloud, light as a leaf,
carried to parts unknown.

Look up. Do you see me?
