Stargazer's Prayer

Enlarge 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

I really enjoyed reading this--I loved the flow of your poem and reading it just reminded me of how I too, gaze up at the stars, wishing them to guide me...

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!)
