North Star

North Star

A Poem by MelissaAndres
"

Poem about life's direction.

"

Everything happens for a reason
Our lives are all mapped out
But how do we arrive?
What's the journey all about?

There is no signage
Placed along the way
Yet we need direction
To get us through the day.

You are my shiny compass
And my guiding light
Beckoning unto me
In the darkest night.

You are my North Star
My South, East and West
Now that I have found you
My heart and soul can rest.

Very sweet and touching.

I've spent years sailing the sea, and my role was that of a Navigator. That's right, Maps, Binoculars and Starlight.

I can't even begin to express my adoration to that precious north star and what it has done for the sailors of old, but this poem isn't really about -the- north star. Moreso our own personal 'North Stars'. To some of us it could be our dreams, to others it could be a special someone, perhaps even someone who is no longer among the living.

This poem is great, sent me packing into the depths of my mind.
Thanks.

It seems the guiding light could be either a deity or a person. Certainly, there are times when we need help navigating our way over the uncharted seas of life.

Yes, Samuel. You are so correct. This poem has a double meaning. It can mean God or it can mean a.. read more
Beautifully evocative words, of how fate places us, almost allocating our destiny to us, without the slightest knowledge.
Thank you for sharing.
