Without A Star Poem by Barry Middleton

another bleak and lonely night
without a guiding star in sight

though many walked this road before
the darkness grips me to the core

but I must walk this path alone
so many miles beyond my home

I stumble and I almost fall
far down the way I hear a call

the owl is sister to the night
she speaks to say that I must fight

a star that's rises in the east
tells me that night is soon released

now I can see the journey's end
that night and owls and stars portend
