Polaris

Barely visible in the horizon,

You were no Sirius--

far from it, yet

you were the one

I'd always known how to find.

It just took me a while,

hopping across constellations

(The Big Dipper,

Cassiopeia)

all pointing me toward you

and I plucked you

out of the sky,

put you on a ring

and said "I do."
