Saturn's Starry Night

Saturn and Jupiter a line on these holy nights
The sky is sapphire, the moon smiles bright white 
There amidst so much sorrow now there are lights

Though you may not be religious this I understand
During these dark days connecting with something 
Is essential be it the Force, God, the Great Spirit or Pan

My squirrel friend just came in the cold looking for me
While I threw out her treats on this we always agree
She grabbed two and the crows came so she ran up the tree, ah!

This harsh year amidst so many liars and such death
The Universe sends us an event sublime to give us some rest
Thus in the cessation of life, all creatures come in living breaths

Perhaps the Universe sends us again in this starry night
A vision of hope a star of wonder a star of holy light

PS Please wear your mask and take care.

So beautifully penned! I know this squirrel, for she also lives in Kansas! I am glad you are taking precautions; I am going no where, just me and the squirrels here and my first (and last) husband.
