Barnard’s Star~by Paul F. Lenzi

 

 

Barnard’s Star

Ancient Illustration of Taurus Poniatowski in Ophiuchus

red dwarf in the sky

twice as old as the sun

early jewel of creation

moves fast in its arc

between summer night

horns of a bull driven mad

by the snake of Ophiuchus

creatures of near and far time

who give life to forever

and wonder to why
