Ursa Major

by Nieve

Oh enchanting stars Speak to me of your stories Tell me of the Bear's scars And how he earned his glories A family torn apart By the love of the eldest sister and a bear The father killing the bear causing them to depart Enkindling her to turn herself into a bear and causing despair Youngest, magic one, save your siblings From your once beloved sister Shoot your arrows in the sky and end the killings Turn each one of them into stars spawning a blister As any can see with an eye The story is forever imprinted in the sky
