Pole Star Poem by Aftab Alam

So often, I used to sit and read in an open field
Beyond the orchard, above the hill, with a shield
Of the dark canopy of the night, gazed upon sky;
Auspicious Spatial spheres, shimmered with shy,

Bright shining stars what we called Ursa-Major
Other constellation easily can be seen; Ursa-Minor
Squire like with tail, from northern hemisphere
Opposite of tail, line drawn unto north, fixed rare

Static and fixed, shy bright, it is called pole star
Seven stars, they circles round from the far
Whole night sat and watched the heaven’s freak
How beautiful is the fort of heaven with starry brick

A map to guide, a pole is fixed for sailor and mariner
For I, enjoy the read of heaven, to praise the inner
