Orion, the Great Hunter

Have a good night's sleep. ;)

When I want to cry

I look above the skies

I talk to the stars,

As if they will heal my scars

I search for patterns

I search for signs

Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka

The three stars by the hunter’s belt…

Such wonderful designs

 

Orion is shining in this moonlit night

And I fell asleep under its light

With patterns so clear and bright

The great hunter, such a beautiful sight

Aiming proudly towards the moon

For me to show, nothing’s impossible

Reaching the farthest dreams is like being a hunter

Believe in your strength, never let go

Don’t just chase for your dream, follow them...

In your hands, hold them with all your might.

 

The shape of Orion,

Its place among the constellations,

God’s answer against my frustrations.

Author's Note

Orion is my favorite constellation. :)

What a beautiful writing and Orion is beautiful too; if I'm thinking correctly. You educated me on things about the constellations and when I can learn always the better. Your flow was amazing from the beginning and it is a story that encourages us to follow our dreams. There is great majesty in the stars. Thank you.
