epiphany

three – it had to be three

three kings
wise men
astronomers
astrologers
magi

from the east apparently

followed a star
was it moving?
it showed an exact location?

farfetched it seems

but there is much to learn from legend

from the gifts
-------precious metal
------- rare fragrance
------- medicinal tree resin
from the worship
from the Herod encounter
--------and the warning
from the bright star symbol
------- new light is born
from the unquestioned following

from the hope that keeps one dusty foot moving
in front of the other

were they real?
does it matter?
