Poetry

In the dark night
we followed a shining light
that led us on a long journey
and at times it shone bright
 
and by the power of our knowledge of science
we were convinced that the Lord God had come
had acted by divine consequence
in a world that was gruesome
 
to show the depth of love,
to really come and effect a difference
had left his palace above
and as if struck, like being in a trance
 
we have travelled through dangerous lands
in our search for the divine king,
we have spoken to a wicked king full of iniquity
have held the reigns of camels in our hands
to find the Lord whose reign is everlasting,
in our search to see
the newborn child
we had brought offerings.
