The other night I saw six stars
Shaped like the one sung and
Mentioned in old slave songs
It was directly over my house
For three nights I went outside
Late each night to view the site
The First Night they were upright
Overhead, directly over my yard
I felt blessed
One side had an arc
In the handle and the others
Clearly looked like a cup
The Second Night the cup
Was tilted half way like it was
Allowing me to drink and
Quench my thirst of the day
The Third Night it moved
And was tilted full tilt
Pouring all it had on to me
And then I felt the drift
It took me back
To salve readings I have done
It had me thinking
The earth and stars were one
It had me thinking
It was pouring out the gifts that it shown
Down on mankind
Not just for me
For this earth could use one
A miracle
I thought an awaking of sorts
A guide
That has been with us
For so many years
So wonder what I am saying
And the stars I speak about
It was the stars that
Make up the Drinking Gourd.
When the slaves were shown
How to find their way North
This they followed and it showed them the way
Six stars make up the set.
As I watched this fantastic set of stars
From my backyard on those three nights
I felt it was quenching the thirst
I have for life and showing me the way.
