Ursa Major

Ursula, oh Ursula As constellations go Ursa Major in the sky Forever do you glow. ________________________ Onto a world you gaze upon Your perch upon a star Lovingly you're watching me A dear friend from afar. ________________________ Ursula, dear Ursula The heavens cry out, too For nothing in the sky Is quite as beautiful as you. ________________________ Where quasars leap into a sea Of nebulizing gas And galaxies remain unformed Waiting for you to pass. _______________________ Ursula, my Ursula As gentle as the air Loves the world Despite the apathy residing there. ______________________ Amidst those so consumed By what they need, I must implore Including me, a simple girl Who writes this metaphor. ________________________ Incandescent Ursula Your wisdom makes you shine An intellect so christened By a touch of the divine. ________________________ Your elegance provides a calm That I have come to love But I am here, and you are there Observing from above. ________________________ You're beautiful, dear Ursula You're everything that's good The sun and moon cannot compete And I don't think they should. _________________________ With ravaged brilliance, there you reign Upon your diamond throne Drifting like a regal mist To galaxies unknown. _______________________ In spite of this, my Ursula's A loving, caring soul Her name is so magnific Each exalted syllable. ______________________ Suspended in the evening sky Majestically you stand A citadel of radiance Celestial and grand. _____________________ With photons loosed from slits like jets That bray with primal haste Resounding in the blue-black sky Ethereal and chaste. _____________________ I search for you, dear Ursula Among the midnight stars Although Orion calls for me I know it is not ours. ________________________ But you're elusive, Ursula Parrhassian and just Callisto in the sky But with Hera's deep mistrust. ________________________ And although Zeus loved you far more Than Hera, I can see He put you in the sky To assist those lost at sea. _______________________ And though I want you for myself I know it isn't fair To hold you hostage anymore To keep you in a snare. ______________________ Alas, my friend, the story goes To you, my love I send You mean so very much to me Love, your forever friend.
