Celestial Conversations: Poem 13

The North Star gives council to the Earth:

If you seek this to resolve,
the arrogance of the cosmos,
by appeasing the conceit of a single reign,
then your solar family will revolve,
in a system of pathos
Not even one left sane.
For a star that imprisons a soul,
by manipulation,
is unworthy of regard.
The Sun seeks to control,
only to raise its’ station,
and then discard.
Be wary if you care,
and if you do not, be wary still,
in relationships, you interlace,
by the lives you pair,
for only God’s will and not our will,

can interweave the very fabric of space.
What are we to devise who is qualified to become one?
If you value others with respect,
seek one ardent, for if love is vain, is life only self-important?
You must find a body to look after this Sun,
that this star, self-superior, might be kept in check,
to make your solar system content.
