The wizard kings observed celestial signs

a moving eastern star especially bright

cast shadows in the pitchest dark of night

a hint enough to agitate their minds

And, journeying through a sleeping world, they found

a manger pin-pricked by a point of heaven

a tiny entry vivifies - like leaven;

a break in lifeless patterns - round and round;

a growing beam of light revealing all.

We thought we knew until we saw it clear

the manger glowed with knowledge God was near.

Who’d ever seen their Maker in a stall?

Light shines unbidden shows the way. We see

new truth, new light, new life - Epiphany.
