I, Your Pole Star

Lyra Silvertongue

Poem : I , Your Pole Star

 

I know you have got

an affinity for the moon,

But why can't you see

I brighten your sky too.

 

Moon has different phases

sometimes full, others half,

But consider me, I am

as constant as pole star.

 

I know Luna shines too bright,

It's visible easily in your sight.

But don't I even try

to shimmer your night sky ?

 

You marvel at a fleeting grace,

While I bear, being unseen, yet unwavering,

Till the moon wanes down to none,

And disappears from the sky's face.

 

And that day I usually hope,

You would turn to the stars' maze.

But you never come to wander, to see the sight ,

Knowing your cherished light is gone for the night.

 

Won't you tell me, dear wanderer,

When Moon hides behind its veil,

Would you ever seek the stars ?

Or, lose yourself in the dark again ?

 

Don't be astounded,

Don't waste me in vain,

I will be always there,

Guiding your day, lighting your way.

  • Comment from author about the poem: The pole star speaks to a wanderer who keeps chasing the moon. It’s the ache of being steady yet unseen—watching someone marvel at what glows for a moment, while the one who guides through every night goes unnoticed. It’s constancy whispering to the wanderer: look up, I’m still here.

    A wonderful metaphor that carries the message that it is not the brightest light that guides or the most beautiful that has purpose but that the small unnoticed is often the one most important. Lovely
