How can a single being hold so much meaning? 

In the East you paint the celestial walls of destiny

Through your North you guide the sickened sailor home

Through Scripture you guide the three wise to His home

Your glow reveals true colors in the night

Yet, our glow dims your divine light

Only in solitude can one appreciate your true splendor

But your secrets remain veiled, unseen

They say your a great sphere of flames

With hues ranging from red to blue

Some call your death a danger, an explosion

But why is it that your end is the most beautiful part about you?

An open history book in our night sky

The sun’s nighttimes accomplices

The moon’s advisors

What can you not be?

A reminder to someone in the air

Throw away your worries, the world is too big to care
