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.
