Gateway Of Orion Poem by Carol Fleming Klein

Gateway Of Orion



Orion, starry wonder
Celestial Gateway
-or so I hear
the scientists say.

Heavenly band, Mighty warrior
with sheathed sword.
Behind your radiance
Paces my Lord.

Behind your twinkly studded door
He waits with longing more and more,
to walk your starlight pathway,
Rivaling your splendor;
with trump of gold-exultant thunder!

Summer 1980

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Four years later, after writing this, I would take an astronomy class, and learn the names of the stars that encircle Orion in the night sky. My astronomy teacher called them 'the Winter Circle'.
