Under the Dog Star
Under the Dog Star how shining you are
As hearts soar on these hot high summer nights
The moon embracing brings us near from far
Rises surprises astounds and surrounds
Us with unnumbered unexpected sights
High summer opens to us like a rose
Full-blown without revealing what it knows
For it is left to us to navigate
This high summer night feeling as it grows
Enchanted by moonlight nourished by fate
Blooming on time never early nor late
And always now though we never know how
Under the Dog Star we howl to the sky
Consuming all that which fate will allow
Ourselves consumed but if this is to die
It is but death of death the hidden door
Of life and none could ever ask for more
As in the darkness we lie down to soar
