walking along the gardens paths, rain drops ushering in refreshing life, giving flowery baths, exposing colors, of inspiring oaths, I gaze toward the daffodils,up over the Goliath's, and blue aster, into the stars eye Alioth, A star in the big dipper, so mammoth, a universe which seems infinitely aboundeth, in the dust of life,from Adam to Galgameth.

I had to look up the following... Epsilon Ursae Majoris (å UMa, å Ursae Majoris) is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Major (despite its Bayer designation being merely "epsilon"), and at magnitude 1.76 is the thirty-first brightest star in the sky. It has the traditional name Alioth (from the Arabic word alyat—fat tail of a sheep). and based on that I was able to understand even better the beauty of this write. Very well done! Eric |
