THREE
KINGS
The
following poem is not intended to be taken as support for any
specific religious dogma, rather it is written from the point of view
that sees that particular narratives can have an inner meaning for
us. Such is the case, I believe, with the story of the three kings
or wise men (magi) with their very special gifts.
THREE KINGS
The
heavens set the times
of
human destiny-
for
those who find the key.
And
well we know that he
was to
be born once more,
west of
his mountain majesty.
The
signs were set
and his
soul's star
was
beckoning
and
many days we travelled from afar;
on many
ways
we came
and Herod questioned us,
but at
last
we
found the blessed, new child,
to
later be anointed by
the
spirit of divinity,
and
gave our gifts,
our
recognition.
Gold-
the
wisdom that true thought
finds
in the wide world's being.
Frankincense-
true
feeling's power
that
gives the soul true seeing.
Myrrh-
the
spirit-willing aim
flowing
from the might of worlds,
the
sacrifice and greater destiny.
Know,
that
from this turning of your time
without
the soul's three kings you are
not on
the path to find
the
guiding star.
