The Angel Star.

In the northern heavens her essence so vivid
My constant seraphic star
Basking within her gloriousness warming
Cleaves to me from distances far
Guiding my pathway on night lit Earth
Keeping my course right and true
Holding back storms until I reach my safe haven
To witness the next dawn rise anew
Those nights when cover clouds her features
Her radiance rushes in on the winds
Blessing my journey seeing me home safely
Forgiving my ways absolving my sins
Morning starts breaking and my cherub starts fading
Past the horizon waters falling so deep
Awaiting the rising of her mettle so tender
Of that maternal star light unique.

Very beautiful language, I can feel your flair for the poetic. The star imagery feels very close to home as I just wrote a poem called 'Stranger' that also makes heavy use of the star as overall angelic guide through the journey. 'Forgiving my ways and absolving my sins' hits even closer to home actually. Truly briliant write, I wouldn't change a letter of it. -Yoni
