Edge Orion
Edge glanced at the night sky and gasped
A combination of stars caught his eye, stopped his heart
Recall of these three stars: the belt of course!
There were other stars....he must know...
He ran to his room, tore the picture off the wall
Holding the reference against the sky's backdrop
Indeed, they each were there, and found in turn
Now tears filled his eyes
"It's real? It's real!" The proof there above
My name is Orion and he is there in the sky!
After five years on earth with Orion overhead
The exhilaration of discovery, a constellation; he cried
