Magi from the East came…
—Matthew 2.1
In you, deep enough to be foreign,
someone seeks.
Has seen a light, a star, small,
but enough to awaken.
Sojourns through this world,
unceasing, undeterred.
Yearns athwart the powers that be,
will not be co-opted.
Desires a desire traitorous to desire,
triumphs in kneeling humbly.
Bears gifts, not demands,
honor, not dominance.
Finds another road, always
another way to get there.
Be still, long enough for your sky to clear.
Let the wise ones gaze.
What is that star?
Where is the heart’s compass?
You will find,
and never finish finding.
Take courage.
Follow.
