Perhaps the most luminous
The one that is most beguiling
Bending the other sunbeams
Discretely, forever smiling
Not concerned to be showy and brash
Just piercing through the evening skies
Some orbs are just fiery decorations
Others keep us safe from a capsize
Searching the mighty horizon
A billion specs of mystery
They named her HR 3049
Her light unlocks the overhead sea
Even in a sky of endless gray
Just a twinkle like sparkling wine
As the Earth turns she slowly dances
A beacon guarding the coastline
Step up and greet her nightly entrance
Aglitter with joy as the sleepy dawn advances
A starfield of fireflies on their endless journey
Creating trails as a tiny celestial light dances
What makes this luminary body monumental?
Like a winning entry in the grand sweepstakes
Outshining a universe of impostors
Of more than a 100 billion glittering snowflakes
