Magi Poems

Premium MemberThe Magi

Puzzles filled the paths of the Magi. Each stone was a gem.
Every gleam and nurture of nature shone like Bethlehem.
Each ray of sun and drop of shower, they gladly explored.
Could they quench their thirst with anyone except their own lord?

Could Herod hide the spark of untruth in his tongue for long?
Despite himself, the good news

Premium MemberMost Beautiful Christmas Poem

Snowing tonight….incandescent, luminescent,
Silvery snow, whispering divine dreams.. 
Air misty, breeze calm, serene! Do I see the 
Brilliant Star, which directed the wise men
To a stable on an evening of starry twilight ...

When the three wise magi spotted the
Brightest star in the east, their surprise,
And their exhilaration knew no bounds!
Our Lord has come to us, the

Vol 1.

Well, go ask the Magi,
and you may be extolled.
Yet, he may say you're crazy,
He's, three Millennium old.
Then, I went to the Magi,
with this question to pose.
If most opinions mean nothing
though everyone has some.
The Magi replied,
"don't,stand down wind Son".
The Magi is Wise,
the Magi is knowing.
Yeah, I'm half crazy,
And the MagI has Spoken.

I was disappointed when I saw the plant she had chosen.
I have tried to raise these, and failed many times.
A philodendron, I said, pretending enthusiasm.
They like a dark place, not much sun, she told me.

I read up on them this time. They do not like their feet wet.
Okay. They like moist soil, not damp. I

Travel of Magi and Epiphany

What an appropriate and applicable poem for Epiphany.
Iasiah wote about this and what had happened to Christ.
TS Elliott also wrote Travel of Magi

On a long trip Magi would travel
They rode on a plodding camel
Over hills and through the sand
This is what God had planned.

By Isiah things were to be written;
On cross Jesus would be smitten;
From

When salt and pepper risibly

Head wises up to ruefully concede.

Penitent's Paean

In sundry ways deaf to your zeal
Which foxy whims fruitless sway,
My wandering self did finally feel 
Pearliest sparks of your legit ray. 

Inured by bestial blinding decoys
Which easiest-faring limb obeys,
I did heed a deluding artful voice
That upon artless hearers preys. 

For want of fine wholesome sense
Which your ancient anthems teach,
My guessing soul staggered tense;
Serf to

 * 
Star
Rises
In the east, 
The three magi, 
Scholars from afar
Follow its guiding light
Over hills and through deserts
To a small town called Bethlehem, 
There pay homage to the new born king
Bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. 



Written 22nd December 2020.

Wishing everyone a merry Christmas or (happy holidays) and a better new year for us

Come to honor him.’ 3 When King Herod [gonna],

The Magi Beats Sweet Mindless Hum Drums Against Day's End

"The Magi Beats Sweet Mindless Hum Drums Against Day's End"



The abstract lines 
you hold onto tight
are leaving marks 
in my heart 
like rope burns
the pleasure of winning
by not giving in 
and then some pain
when you walk my mind, 
you never turn away, you stay

My mind
is volcanic 
a salve for romantics
a soiled grave for real living

Christmas

Christmas comes in long nights of winter
Honoring a child born so long ago
Restoring hope for peace on earth
In angel’s songs and shepherds bowed low
Sleeping child upon the hay
Taking Bethlehem by surprise
Magi from afar revere the new king
A humble child born before our eyes
Simple rhyme celebrates all that we treasure when days grow long with winter

A Gift From the Magi

When thoughts of peace good will toward man
ring out this special day, shall we forget what’s
going on around us?

Life today is a sea with waves rising in ominous 
regularity, and break in on the shore of our individual 
conscience. Are we prepared to discharge our duty?

We have a Department of War who’s business it is

Premium MemberManger Story

The Wisemen were summoned to Herod’s palace, a night so fine.
He wanted to know when the star in the east rose, so sublime.
They hemmed and hawed for a while, for they figured out why 
He was so keen on learning of the prophetic star in the sky.

Many children up to age two, were slaughtered, due
