orion Winter evenings I would look for you. Dancing along the horizon. You were always fighting; the great bear to the north, the bull in the winter. You were my favorite. whenever I could I would look for you: out my window, in my driveway. I remember a nebula lived in the center of your sword. You, spending millennia fighting. You have taught me well. The other night, I looked out my window again; you were there. Receiving strength from me, as I did so many years in you. Copyright Janet Kuypers. All rights reserved.
