stars and dust

Epiphany - Year C

we look and squint and peer

ahead and around

trying to spot tomorrow

all too often we project today

in and out and about

until new is only repeated old

Magi point a difficult way

over hill and dale

testing hypothesis and theory

connecting stars with power

upstairs and down

we see change but don’t

in a royal setting royalty is 

over and again

king can only beget king

when at first we don’t succeed

ever and anon

we read our tea leaves another time

if continuation is not the only story

now and then

dare we risk an alternative

deeper than crowned privilege

through and through

soul rises like persistent grass

starshine twinkles until we smile

off and on and on and off

our star stops here

gifts are divested and invested

each and every

to build another road

dust off your inner-Magus

abra and kadabra

live for the joy of a better way
