And a Star to Sail Her By

Brightly burning star
Sharply piercing the velvet black skyline
Your light streaks through thousands of galaxies
Yet you seem to shine just for me
You guide my nightly travels and adventures
Lighting my wayward path with loving illumination
Your northern light is a blazing beacon in the eastern darkness
It twinkles and sparkles more than any known jewel
Giving off rare and precious rays of hope to the weary soul
Lesser diamonds dull in the night when you are present
Your ascension into the night is a cause celebrations
And your setting cause for reflection
Your very race through the heavens is a tale that Bards have put to song
Story tellers have also made quite a bit of coin from your Saga
Many a watcher of the stars have tried to predict the path you will take through the Inkwell of Night
Dipping your light in a passing comet your path seems filled with unknown dangers and excitement
Comets and stars have always said to predict or Herald some new event
I feel your light as new and as wonderful as any event ever to pass
Your beams of light have guided many a fleet of sailing vessels
Including the Sea Witch and the Ship of Wyrd
Never as sad will I be as when I've spent the night enjoying your steadylight show only to have the approaching dawn come and steal you away
But you never leave the pale, dawn ridden sky without a fight
Shining ever the brighter and even outshining the moon
Your beautiful dazzle can be seen by the observant servant to the sky
Till well past the sunrise and at times even into the morning late
Finally having made your stand and your point
You relinquish the task of making the sky more interesting for all
You then go to rest up for the following evening's jaunt
skimming through the night's deep black pool like a skipped rock expertly aimed
Please skip into my dreams O Lovely Star of Wonder
