Sirius Against the Fathomable Darkness
It's the clearest summer's night
and with Sirius against darkness,
one can see the awesome beauty
of other stars now visible to the eye;
this brilliant star is rarely seen through dark,
what brings it here to display its magnificence?
Is a manifestation of divine power,
or simply an event we happen to observe?
Whatever it may be, let's praise our Creator
for shedding its light around a dark curve.
A star as bright as Sirius is truly needed
in our sky to ascertain a danger concealed
from our poor sight: is it the wisdom imparted
in us by a concept or belief proudly inherited?
