Epiphanies

EPIPHANIES      

You suddenly see truth - like a vision -                                  
That you couldn’t see before.                             
When you suddenly pull  open                                     
A  previously  closed door,                                   

And you say  well of course,                                     
Could’ve seen  it before instead of behind !               
I should have known already!                                       
I must be deaf dumb and blind !                                  

Oh, it’s just dawned on me:               
Epiphanies   are to do with  sight.      
A light just went on  in my mind:      
Now I can clearly see  bright.               

Wandering   in the night  
Of the three  kings’  long journey 
Their   guide-star’s   shining  light
Gave them their  very first  Epiphany.

Their search for kingship ended
With an opened  stable door
They found their vision of truth
While kneeling on the floor
