Silver Star

New Prompt: Write a "Dodoitsu" about a silver star in the sky. Maximum 3 stanzas


Silver Star, you call to me,
Beckoning me with your light,
Mesmerised, I come to you,
Guided through the night.

I raise my hand to grasp you,
And to bring you close to me,
My shining little beacon,
On a darkened sea.

And now that I have held you,
What I thought my lucky star,
Back in the sky I place you,
Where you're never far.
