Ode to a Star
There shines a little star
So far beyond our ken;
A speck of silver bright,
Twinkling and shimmering
On the veil of the night.
There shines a little star –
A lost pilgrim’s lone hope,
Mark of the Lord’s glory,
A tinsel pure, gracing
The crown of a fairy.
There shines a little star –
Fixed in the firmament,
Soul mate of Nyx and Nut,
A diamond, that needs no
Colour, carat or cut!
There shines a little star –
My confidante sublime,
Balm to my throbbing sore,
Caring for, comforting,
My bruised and battered core.
Glossary:
Nyx - An ancient Greek goddess, believed to be the personification of night.
Nut – Goddess of the sky, as mentioned in Egyptian mythology.
