An ode to Aldebaran: A poem 

Above Orion’s enigmatic belt 

I saw that flame, would I melt? 

My soul felt grace, so I knelt 

in kindred kinship that I felt 

O Aldebaran, you fearless bullseye 

shining in the northwest sky 

coming straight riding at me like a dream 

in an invincible galactic stream 

I see the brilliance of the spaceship 

And as I wave out, it zips and flips 

greeting me with playful blinks 

giving me hope that will never sink 

Come to me more often, and again 

So, my struggle should never go in vain 

I am witness to all the zodiac’s rain 

And I only wish for you to reign!
