Celestial Conversations: Poem 14

The Earth offers a thought to the Sun:

I am sure there are other stars such as you,
to replenish this barren world.
Don’t find me too plain-spoken,
If I am to be your matchmaker,
I am content in my orbit around you.
More so I speak for fear of the darkness lest I be hurled.
So I offer you this token.
What better match than a star for a star,
and the North Star speaks in words of good sense
and shines the brightest in my night.
Consider this noble luminary,
to end my quest and let Polaris
guide life’s direction through the universe immense.
To compliment your light,
and make my night less solitary.
Listen to this match I’ve made.
The North Star leads with wisdom and insight,
all those not clouded by an arrogant mind
if they but look up with open eyes.
Let my quest be in victory!
Who better to guide you in your night,
than this one whose heart is kind,
and for me, a comfort, so be advised.
And all agree,
this Guiding Star shines with affection
when in shadows your light leaves me.
On my darkest night, I am not lost.
So choose to accept this fate.
Even mortal love finds romantic connections,
shown the way on land and sea,
that none be star-crossed.
What say
you, Helios?
