Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

In secret, in darkness
the king, the powerful, plotted
seeking to hide, to extinguish
to blot out the light

Gathering, scheming
planning in secret
sending the Magi on
to find the Christ

Trying to deceive
to use the strangers
unwitting spies
to identify the child

In a dream, the plot illumined
going to their own land
led to another way

The same with the Christ-child
in a dream, a warning
the child moving in secret
the light saved for another day
