Horizons shook
propane
as liftoff startled
the ozone.
Glittering;
a rising star
pierces the atmosphere
while eyes glisten
a distant hope
and dreams walk
tomorrow's moon.

It is quite a dream. I could think of all sorts of negative things to say about it but I will refrain. The dream of once again walking on the surface of the moon or some other celetial body is still a great dream. And yours is an enjoyable write.
Good luck in the contest.
