Sirius Standing Against the Fathomable Darkness

It's the clearest and warmest August night,
and with Sirius standing against the fathomable darkness,
one can see the awesome beauty
of other stars now visible to the eye;
this brilliant star is rarely seen in its celestial ambience,
what brings it here to display its sheer magnificence?

Is it a manifestation of deific power,
or simply an event we happen to observe?
Whatever it may be, let's praise our Creator
for shedding its light on hearts that love!.

A star as bright as Sirius is truly needed
in our sky to ascertain a danger concealed
from our poor sight: where's the wisdom imparted
to us us by a concept or belief not seldom inherited?

If doubt rejects the inexplicable mystery  
of creation, then our atheism is too defiant
of a mighty hand which created this star so beautifully:
how charming is Sirius! Isn't it the design of His divine craft?
