Lodestar

Shining bright you guide me forward
Shining bright you guide me forward
In my sight, zenithal lodestar
In my sight, zenithal lodestar
You guide me forward in my sight
Zenithal lodestar shining bright

And by your ray I see darkness
And by your ray I see darkness
My way trascending through the haze
My way trascending through the haze
Through  the darkness and haze, my way
I find, by your trandsending ray

I steer again with braver heart
I steer again with braver heart
Upon new sea of my own fate
Upon new sea of my own fate
With braver new heart upon sea,
Of my own fate, I steer again

Lodestar, by your zenithal ray
Transcending darkness, you guide me
I steer through haze, I find my way
Braver of heart upon the sea
With new forward-shining in-sight,
My Fate, my own, again, and bright

Thank you all for your comments and enjoying...It caused a bit of headache writing this though and I forgot to add the repetitions in the first three stanzas, when I first posted this, I don't add them till I'm finished usually... they create the real effect of the paradelle though...hope that its much better now that its edited and a legitmite paradelle.  Thank you again...
