Stars

There, up in the darkness
A red star is shining,

Warning of war.
Mars is the witness
That we  have to fight
As we fought before.
Humans divine in the dark,
But mine is the way of the stars,
For centaurs follow the path of the orbits
Of Venus and Mars.
I can see in these stars
The world comes to wars!
Stars in their multitudes,
Filling the darknessWith knowledge and light;
They hold the prophecies
Secret and safe.
Centaurs watch in the night.

They have their place in the sky.
They hold their course and their aim.
And each in their season
Return and return
And are always the same.

And so it will be, and so it is written
In the pathways across the skies
That fortune may well be foretold
Through centaur’s eyes!

Now, you may see it
And you may read it
Safe within these stony castle walls.
It’s war, this I read in the stars.
