I am, forever, a stargazer
A watcher of the night
The stars become my lantern
In the darkness, they’re my light
But there is one who shines
In the sky, such sheer delight
A mighty huntsman, sword in hand
Oh, what a glorious sight
Orion, among the heavens
His distinctive glow in the sky
A belt that shimmers brightly
Three kings, all seated high
Let him guide your journey
You can feel his woeful plight
But mind the tail of Scorpio
Lest you, too, feel his bite

My Dear Dorinda, Thank you so much for this wonderful post!!! Beautifully done! I love it for what it is but also for the little seed of inspiration you provided me in your phrase “A Watcher Of The Night”. It set off a blossom blooming and I now have a beautiful gift from you to me – unbeknownst to you. I shall be indebted to you for your spark of inspiration for my “I’m A Watcher Of The Night!
Bellissimo, Dorinda

Ha! that would happen to me too!! You are more than welcome and the gift was from you to me! And the good news is your encouragement to “write more” has paid dividends for both of us. I sent you a contact with the information on a new blossom that I also am indebted to you for.
