    Reaching The Stars

     She stood on this earth
    And reach for the sky
    Determined at heart
    And strong enough to fly

    She dazzled this world
    With brilliance, unlike any other
    Out numbered by men
    Her talent shown through

    With direction in mind
    She marched forward
    Not yet refined

    She new no boundaries
    Her personality often dared to show itself
    In flight and in life
    The clouds were her dreams

    Her unfortunate departure
    Will all but be forgotten
    Her face will be forever
    Placed into our minds.

    You know, my childhood hero was Amelia Earhart. I think I recognize a tribute to her in here. You know she invented coolots because she couldn't run in a dress. And nobody was going to tell her that she couldn't run - or fly for that matter. A great tribute, my friend.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
