Contact

Leonard Nimoy
The Touch of Leonard Nimoy (1969)
Contact
Once, we had contact;
Reception was clear.
Preparing to lock into orbit.
Polarization ... a magnetic storm.
Out systems couldn't absorb it.
Take a step closer.
A light year has passed.
All instrumentation reads:
"GO"
Visual contact firmly established.
Strength of the signal will grow...
Make one more effort,
Channels are open.
The past is a thing of the past.
Communicate now.
Before the collision,
Make a decision...
Seperation is closing fast...
Closing fast...
Closing fast...
Closing fast...!
Request permission...
...to LAND....
