Enraptured we drift heavenward
In whispered gentle flight
Through majesty and mystery
And brilliant webs alight

Where comets wheel and spirals turn
And halos blaze on bright
Mortality is left behind
Eternity's in sight

With thanks we think of God's best work
You too, a guiding light
And there you are, on Vela's bow
Keep sailing starry night

In loving memory of Harry St Clair Johnson
Who passed away peacefully, 23 Jan 2010
For whom the search began

Constellation of Vela, star coordinate (epoch 2000) right ascension 09:56:21.9 declination -50:20:09.5
