Not yet named

[Shana Mac]

As the sun closes its fiery eye

And Luna takes her throne in the sky

The chill of night replaces the warmth of day

And the stars begin their precision ballet

The mighty owl when his slumber ends

Swoops away to call his nocturnal friends

Fires are lit to battle the bitter cold

And children gather round for the stories to be told

The lion the bull the dog and the scorpion

The ram the twins and the hunter orion

The seven sisters and the cosmic chase

And how they all gained their heavenly place

Sleepy eyes soon to be shut tight

Ready to dream away the long winter night

Sleep well my fellow navigators I say

And let tomorrow bring us a new joyous day

[Allysa Grant]

Hello, Shana. What a beautiful poem. It made me think of how beautiful the cosmos really is and how as a child I would look into the night sky and enjoy  how much could be seen. Hugs, Allysa

Thanks! I love the night sky and I also love all the different mythologies about it.
