Mark Scrivener Poetry Blog No 106 Three Kings


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.
