Stargazer's Prayer
by oldaubry

 

Capricorn, Virgo, Sagittarius too
Grace me with your image
as you come into view
I feel my true self
as I look to the sky
I can feel that one spark
as the evening is nigh
your stars are a guide
like a mariner's chart
as I use the sextant
that is bourne of my heart
I pray for safe passage
I don't want to roam
May God speed my journey
and help me get home

Carolyn Devonshire October 21, 2009 at 5:44 AM Ward, I often look up at the night sky and imagine guiding my way to heaven through the stars. At this time in my life, your excellent poem held special meaning for me. Thank you for sharing it! Love, Carolyn (I have not read your work before, so I look forward to seeing more!)
