Orion

 

I plan to post a poem a week for the next several months so today I start with the poem "Orion".  The photograph above shows the three stars which make up Orion's Belt.

Orion

In dreams so deep

Orion calls –

Aroused from sleep

His chant enthralls.

I raise my head,

Look to the sky –

Rise from my bed

Where sorrows lie.

The stars are mine,

Orion's gift –

I watch them shine,

My spirits lift

And as my eyes

Drink in their light,

I know love lies

With me tonight.
