Bright Star (Creature Of The Night)

The wonder of the cosmos

Bright star… in deepest space

For eyes to capture

In awe and wonder…

Shine upon each  far flung place

Spread the rapture

Make beings ponder

Bright star… in endless sky

Tiny mote of molten fire

A  magnet to all curious creatures…

All simple souls… such as I

Who never seem to tire

Of Nature’s cosmic features

Bright star…beacon in the night

Guide to we who are often lost

And cannot find our way…

A sign to us that all is right

We’ll find our way on oceans tossed

We’ll always see the day

Bright star… you know not your powers

Know naught of time or things 

Temporal nor eternally…

Know not the difference in eons or hours

Nor difference t’ween black holes and Angel wings

Know nothing of beginnings or finality

Bright star… each night…

You catch and hold my eye

(if the light is right)

I wonder what you are

I wonder why you are

…Oh creature of the night…
