You Are My Northern Star

Upon my dark somber day, you’re the bliss of gilded rays You are the blaze that ignites the flame of my dreary gaze Gleaming in your merry ways, holding hands of love you sway You’re the bliss of gilded rays upon my dark somber day You are the cactus flower, in my desert of tenebrous strife You are the scent of ruby rose adorning garden of my life In scorching heat of summer, you are the cool rain shower In my desert of tenebrous strife you are the cactus flower Amidst harsh reign of despair, you are a gallant voice of hope When my tears dwell in sorrow, you invigorate me to cope Gracing temple of divinity, you are my gift of solemn prayer You are a gallant voice of hope amidst harsh reign of despair You are the lyrical rhythm of guitar, tempo of my life-song How lovingly you cuddle my heart, where you fondly belong On my journey near and far, you are my lucent northern star Tempo of my life-song, you are the lyrical rhythm of guitar June 9, 2020 Placed 1st: Swap the verse poetry contest Sponsor: Joseph May

"On my journey near and far, you are my lucent northern star Tempo of my life-song, you are the lyrical rhythm of guitar...." I can only utter a "Wow" and my jaws are stuck there. Unmatched elegance, thy name is Vijay !
