A lad who once did set his foot
Upon the Lunar Dust
Who in the fullness of our time
The mysteries discussed
And slipped the surly bonds of Earth
To dance on silvered wings
Who pressed the limit of man's path
Achieved amazing things
To dance on silvered wings
Who pressed the limit of man's path
Achieved amazing things
Into the footless halls night
Where few have ever trod
And now he's even further flown
To touch the Face Of God
Where few have ever trod
And now he's even further flown
To touch the Face Of God
Dedicated To Neil Armstrong

Your thoughtful homage to our American 20th Century Romantic Hero whose epic feats "Into the footless halls night Where few have ever trod" impresses in minds our image of Neil Armstrong who "slipped the surly bonds of Earth To dance on silvered wings,
Who pressed the limit of man's path Achieved amazing things."
From sincere humility, our own Hermes.
But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet ; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. W.B. Yeats (1865–1939)
Thank you for sharing inspiration.
