Sopdet

Our Sirius light in the sky

Sopdet

the ancients worshiped this light in the sky

so far away but so bright to the eye

the calender created by Egyptian kings

rising high revered like golden rings

the duat of their underworld passed

Isis and Osiris in the galaxy so vast

shining down with a curious smile

marked the flooding of the Nile

so very close yet still so far

less than 9 light years to this star

she is binary in number having a mate

though a white dwarf now can no longer relate

she was just as important to many other cultures

Greeks and Polynesians claiming like vultures

this dog of the night caused men to weakly tilt

aroused the women and made the plants wilt

somewhere in the future she will bid adieu

as the galaxies shift and are born anew

this pair of lovers must say goodbye

this Sirius watchers of our night sky
