⁂ Asterism ⁂

Past, the star that dimmest shone,
Still lit the sky with light so clear
And bore its way deep through my soul
Still lighting paths my life to steer

⁂

Present, the star that’s flickered most,
Teaching me of love and pain
Grows still Wisdom’s silvery threads
In my heart, my hair, my brain

⁂

Future, the star that’s rising now,
Silent as snow falls on earth
Gently blows the embered heart
Warming, coaxing Hope’s new birth

⁂

Three distant stars, aglow they burn,
Beneath the endless sky we see
The Promise of the past delivered,
The Hope of future fulfilled and free

⁂

Asterism in midnight’s dark
And witching hour’s electric buzz
Continues now with approaching dawn
To point toward tomorrow, never that which was
