I Saw Your Ship

         I Saw Your Ship

I saw your ship - it passed me in the night
Between the jumpgates of this allied home.
My eyes were drawn to its impressive lights
Emanating from the structure's dome.

The strobes belied the military might
Applied as interstellar fine-toothed comb
To strike a brace of quad-beam laser fright
In lands where pirate-hearted Angels roam.

The majesty of your battleship incites
My fear to condensate into a poem
Or two, if this should swell up to a height
Inspiring words enough to fill a tome.

As flattery fails, I hope this isn't trite:
I saw your ship - and what an awesome sight.
