Infinite Celestial bodies spinning in an
Intricate harmonious dance
Emitting hope as easily as they do light
Aligning precisely about their business
Cynosura... flickering, twinkling yet
forever steady guiding bright
Seven Sisters dancing a Hole in the Sky
Dispensing omens
Clarifying dreams
Recording history
Divining destiny
Asteria
Inanna
Sah
Sopdet
Nuit
Two Gazelles, Yin & Yang
Famous Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux
Protectors of Travelers
Altair, Deneb, Vega
marking each angle of summer as
Bellatrix marks the Hunter's shot an'
Rigel his relentless step in calm blue
The Three Sisters carrying
the sighs, tears, dark sorrows of our souls
yet shining like divine beacons as they do
Astraeus
Inanna
Zorya
Itzpapalotl
Each numberless talent sprinkles magical dust of
Inspiration in streaks across the velvet dark
Ancient Methuselah to distant Earendel
Luminous astral giants and gleaming dwarves
burning gases in their forges; hydrogen, helium
Singing out, "Have courage!" "Well done!" and
"I really love your spark!"
White, brown, blue, yellow, orange, or red
these Teachers sing at every stage of being
across time and space
whether we stay up to listen or
wander off dreaming to our beds
For those new to the game, each poem in this Singing series is inspired by a Teacher found in Nature; a tree, stone, element, plant, animal, etc. Everything around us holds lessons for those willing to listen. Can you guess who is singing today?
