TO BOLDLY GO...(ENTERPRISE)
by Sandy Adams

Her voice has sung a thousand tongues:
words of peace far more than war,
of friendship, and knowledge,
and always, hope

to a thousand worlds. Revolved
around a myriad suns, seen birth
and death: planets, stars, lives
loves; She has never faltered.

Revered, reviled, exiled, exalted.
Martyred, and reborn -- a silver phoenix
rising among the stars; legend.
Immortal.
