the greatest lighthouse

the eastern starlight

wise-men’s soul delight

celestial lighthouse

host galaxy of cosmos…

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
