I wanted to fly with you
To that darkness all around
And reach high above the sky
With the dreams
That have no bounds
Just as you oft seemed to know.

But now you are no more—
Scattered funeral ashes across the land,
Riding the winds of time and ages
To the ground,
To the Earth,
To the history that should not have been.

Down here, we still dream,
We still hold to what we knew;
There are others which will follow,
And we will carry on;
But without you,
This road seems far too long.

You have left a space
Far too large for us to fill.

But for you
We must keep the dream alive,
Unlike the fire in the sky,
We mustn’t let it die,
For now it’s only there
Where with you I can fly.

'Roger roll, Columbia.'

Poem and picture done Feb. 2, 2003.

*First comment dance*
Yeehaaaaaaa!
Where do you get your ideas?! *want's to visit that place, too*
No, serious: GREAT.
If the right shadow is a space shuttle (and I guess so) than that's a big dragon - finally there's something to compare a dragons portions with 1
the perspective is perfect, how far are they off earth?

:-) Krystal Tyler replies: "I'm not sure where I get them - they just kind of come... *wishes she could voluntarily visit that place too* Yeah, the right silhouette is a shuttle; the dragon is supposed to be my persona, and while she is large, she's not *quite* that big (I messed up). Oh, well. They're probably in low-earth orbit - I'm not certain how high that is (I know it's above 50 km or so)."

did you write the poem aswell? They go hand in hand so well. Which came first?

:-) Krystal Tyler replies: "Yes, I did. I really don't remember which I did first, though I suspect the poem came first.... I did them one right after the other.Thanks for the comment!"

Oh Krystal... I feel the pain and sympathy in this piece. The poem does convey the pain we all felt when the disaster happened above our skys. You may have made a mistake on it .. but I for one dont see it and I love the pieces. Nicely done. and You got me to cry.

Very inventive! I’ve never seen a pic like this before. I like how the dragon and the... is it a space shuttle? are just shadows over the earth.
