Dedicated to William "Bill" Swanzy
A New Star in the Heavens
by denny
Zeus flung them through the air,
In whirlwinds to the high heavens,
And fixed them there.
Where the constellations nightly rise,
Lustrous in the northern skies.
Joined now by yet another star.
One after another the stars
Have risen in the heavens,
Joined now by a gentle bear of a man
Sparkling upon the hoar frost of my chain.
The gentle bear that walked the earth
Now, roams all night
About the fold of the North Star
Until allowed to finally rest by
The blithesome footsteps of the dawn.
Let his lamp at midnight hour,
Be seen in some high lonely tower,
Where I may oft out watch the gentle bear.
