Epiphany
The fulgent star called them on,
these wanderers,
wise in their learning,
who knew that something amazing was begun.
Star of wonder,
did the light of a baby's eyes
and a mother's smile
fill their hearts as the saw the end of their quest?
Wisdom touched by God
is wisdom indeed.
The Magi, looking at what they sought,
perhaps contemplated how the things that change the world
can start simply with the birth of a child.
Nova,
not in the sky,
but here, in Mary's arms,
shattering the darkness
the child of promise
Emmanuel,
Creator become creation,
Love that would shatter the night.
