The Greatest Lighthouse

this eastern star's light
bright wisdom led to wisdom…
wise-men’s soul delight

celestial lighthouse
host galaxy of cosmos…
nature’s wisdom night

For and in honor Russell Sivey

What a unique approach you took, John. Indeed, the "celestial lighthouse" is the greatest one of all. As a boat navigator, I used to rely on the North Star. Excellent poem, my friend. Love, Carolyn
