Goddess of Lost Dreams

Sheri Miller 1948 (South Carolina)

Free verse
Goddess of Lost Dreams

Star-ward bound. Blasted.
engined by Dreams of
life on another planet. But
Not this one.

Not this one because
I Was a Star There, a galactic
prophet spinning webs of
Dreams to protect My home.

I was a Native Planetarian.
Born to create sublime
Memories of a life yet lived.
Where I first fell in love

With love.
