Polaris joins together the Bears in the celestial sky.
He’s the pivot that hold the key, but it’s a mystery as to why.
I hope to shed some truth on why that may be.
Please read my explanation and see if you can agree.
Around Polaris does the North sky revolve,
Hiding the Bear hunters, as away they slowly dissolve.
Callisto escaped their chase, but then fell under a spell.
The love Jupiter had, was a secret that he could never tell.
One day she saw their son, but he only saw a bear,
Jupiter had hidden her, beyond his wife’s stare.
She ran towards her son, with arms outstretched.
He saw only the animal, and believed he was being attacked.
An arrow he fired, killing the Bear that he thought threatened him so.
He became the Little Bear. Close to his mother he will now never go.
Polaris knew the truth, he saw it all unfold,
But by then it was too late for that truth to be told.
Jupiter was devastated, there was only one thing he could do.
He sent his friend Polaris skywards, to hold close forever the two!
So there they stay, several star distance apart.
Sharing Jupiter’s love within Polaris’s shining heart!

About Daniel Kemp
At the age of seventy-six, Daniel Kemp has started his second year of studying the science of Psychology at the Open University. He is a member of The Society of Authors and also a bestselling writer. However, in early September 2025, he was diagnosed with cancer. He is now in palliative care at home, being looked after by his ex-wife. When he was writing his novels, he enjoyed writing stories that appealed to those who liked challenging themselves to solve mysteries that were set out before their eyes, but they couldn't.
His introduction to the world of espionage and mystery happened at an early age when his father was employed by the War Office in Whitehall, London, at the end of WWII. However, it wasn’t until after his father died that he showed any interest in anything other than himself!
On leaving academia he took on many roles in his working life: a London police officer, mini-cab business owner, pub tenant and licensed London taxi driver, but never did he plan to become a writer. Nevertheless, after a road traffic incident left him suffering from PTSD and effectively—out of paid work for four years, he wrote and self-published his first novel —The Desolate Garden.
Within three months of publication, that book was under a paid option to become a $30 million film. The option lasted for six years until distribution became an insurmountable problem for the production company.
All ten of his novels are now published by Next Chapter Publishing Company which has added an edition titled The Heirs And Descendants Collection, which holds all four books of that series, alongside an edition titled The Lies And Consequences Collection which contains all four volumes of that series.
He is the recipient of rave reviews from a prestigious Manhattan publication and described as—the new Graham Green—by a highly placed executive of Waterstones Books, for whom he did a countrywide tour of book signing events. He has also appeared on 'live' television in the UK publicising his first novel.
