Constellations

The night's sky
unveils its magical
carpet of constellations
when mother moon 
sets to sleep
after singing
her divine warcry
and this 
flying carpet of stars
sings the way 
to the wary
wandering
sailors who
dared to brave
the towering waves
of the deep sea 
in brittle bony boats 
in search
of themselves
and their depths

and in 
the earthly darkness
there is also
a mystical carpet 
of constellation
created by the 
pulsating connections
between those 
very sailors who
found their shine, 
the shore and each other
and this peopled
pattern of power
is the very army
of warriors who 
will wage the war, 
of peace, love, and light
on the death of life
and if and when they fall
the glow of their lives will sing
waking sailors to the deep sea
to find themselves 
as warriors in becoming.
