Last Flight Of The Endeavour.........
September 21, 2012
"Today, I am proud to be an American."
My neighbor and I headed
out to the Marina State
Beach, and in the sand was
something special.  We
knew it was a sign.
A crowd was gathering.

Something special has to
happen now.
A vapor train from a
passing jet?

No, that can't be it.
A passing bird?

No, that can't be it.
The birds know something.
Like a parade.

Can it be?
Just over the horizon.

In the haze of the morning, a
light shiny object.
There!
Just beyond the bird.

It's here!
It glides closer, so slow
and majestic.
Out of the blue sky.
At first the crowd was silent, to make sure it
was real, then all of a sudden, loud cheers
came from everywhere on the beach.
And then, it was gone.
