To Honor Winter's Shadows

Society does not always like 
to see the grace and the wisdom
of the quiet solemn Capricorn

It's often falsely said by many
that they are bitter and angry
and arrogant and full of scorn

But while it is too true that they 
have indeed always been serious 
since the day that they were born

In the deep realms in places unseen
these mergoats create paths forward
for the forgotten and for the forlorn

Note: This poem originally would have stood alone but some astrology enthusiasts seem to have enjoyed it. So, I've decided to make this poem part of a 12-part poem series. The next one in this series will be about Aquarius.
