recede,
Head wises up to ruefully concede.

Free me from feeling lonely.
Free me from my suffering.
Free me from my soul’s bewitching....

the unwiseman says
take me to your magi...

According to an unknown author
The Magi were obliged to bother
To Joseph's surprise
Jesus had blue eyes
Joseph knew he was not the father!...

The promptness of his
Forgiveness
Is a magi sty to me
The prospect of his love
Is magic you see
And
The lineage of his love
Which has echoed
Threw the year's
For those who Seth
His hope
There shall be no more
Tears'

Jesus born
Lamb of God,
Christmas morn.

Bethlehem,
There a star
Guided them.

Three magi 
Witness him,
It begins.

Acquah

A nd the sun rises
in her eyes
C ozy. Piercing my
stagnant pulse
Q ueen of the sky;
thawing my deserted
isle
U nfolding sore
ripples; folding my
grey cloud
A nd showing beneath
—me
H eavens! How deep
am I?


For Acquah, The
first Magi....

All bowed before the newborn
In that stable forlorn
Shepherds and their beasts
And the magi from the east
The noble men of wealth
Concerned about his heath
Gave gifts of myrrh, frankincense and gold
Gifts his tiny hands could not hold
And at the centre of this scene
Slept the young King serene...

I want
to migrate
navigate the
stars as did the

magi to
find not my
christ child but
you

now with
my head far
above the clouds
allowing visions to

be seen in
the star charts
that constantly show
me constellations comforting

and 
compelling
me to follow the
wing beats of Cygnus...

A bright announcing beacon

Of that divinely vivid moment

Casting out it’s cleansing light

For all to see and partake of

Calling the Magi to the manger

Purity of deference for the Messiah

Illuming human shadows with belief

Granting all the peoples a choice

And the gift of chance for…eternity...

They had been following his star.
Was it Luther, Calvin or Smith?
Quickly approaching
is second Millennium of his crucifixion.

Where are his signs?
Pastors are usurping the Lord
with prophetic messages,
eager to sit on his throne.

Is he among us,
somewhere homeless,
unrecognized?
The Wise still seek him....

sharing and giving
but so few worshiping

have they forgotten 
what they should be remembering

a child was born
to give us life

there were no reindeer
nor were there elves

some shepards and animals
and a birth in a cave

there arrived the Magi
giving us the sign

if there be salvation
now will be the time...

Manger

Miniatures to touch.
Messiah’s cradle where
many came to worship.
Magi bearing gifts of
myrrh, frankincense and gold.
Minders of field and flock,
make haste to the new king.
