Calling to Me
Sitting on our balcony sailing south;
It was a clear night sky, lit up with grandeur.
Grabbing my attention as I relaxed
Was a star in Orion, looming large over my head.
It is one of the twinkling stars in particular;
Faintly fading in and out of my vision.
The first star of the sword, just off the belt;
I can hear Sigma Orionis quietly calling to me.
Echoes from a forgotten time or place;
Reaching down with all the collected emotions.
Joy, hatred, fear, love; all felt in an instant;
While I look up at this twinkling star.
I have to wonder what this all means;
Why does the system resonate with my soul?
The river of universal soul flows through me;
I can hear Sigma Orionis quietly calling to me.

NOTE: After I returned from the cruise, I found that
Sigma Orionis is a quadruple star system of predominately
dwarf stars, but one, designated E, is a helium fueled star.
It is believed that they have discovered three planetary-
like masses in orbit. Strike up the Twilight Zone music.
