The Pleiades

The Pleiades

Shining seven sisters sharing starry skies
Your blue glowing cluster dances
Right before my eyes
Guiding ancient mariners across the Mediterranean Sea
Fascinating many who gaze up
At your amazing beauty.

Wonder has a way of illuminating living
The luminaries of The Pleiades
Shining keep on giving
Lighting up the darkness with subtle magnificence
Your lights fire within me
A powerful transcendence.

Elevating effervescence with elegance
Joy leaps inside me
With newfound relevance
Distance does nothing to dampen
Your stellar luminescence
In fact I embrace you
And your celestial benevolence.

Admiring your bright blue fires above
Echoes and ripples reach out
Inspiring a cosmic love
Someday I pray she’ll come
Be beautiful and so much more
The brightest of all the stars
My wish I’ve waited for.
