THE WHITE BIRD OF PEACE
The Great White Bird of the Night sky
Flies across the horizon
Past stars of sparkling silver light
Her wings stood outstretched
Rigid as she glides on her way
Beautiful and deadly, both
The Great White Bird of Peace
Or War
As They, her Masters choose.
She roams from old Friends to New
For Peace she keeps between them
And Enemies of Hostile Force
Who would Enslave or Kill
For Power, Land and Wealth.
For SHE alone stands
- so it seems –
Between them, Good and Evil.
HER name is Enterprise
A LEGEND BORN
From Battles FOUGHT and WON.
Won second place in a Star Trek poetry competition.
