Ophiuchus
OPHIUCHUS
Upon death what if each of our souls was a star
Thus we would understand the vastness of afar
How planets met, fought, fell in love, then ruled
Such a diverse universe of red hot stars cooled
Whose memories then kept alive by a living sun
To shine in skies of midnight blue; to life begun
We are as of the thirteen lunar moons of a year
Bring forth personalities upon this earth to bear
Understanding stars; as to understand yourself
Our future upon this earth, then all of its wealth
So confusing because you are not what you are
Ophiuchus; being the thirteenth star sign so far
As the shifting of time earth’s axis has reversed
Just what star signs are we under on our births
