Raymond A. Foss Poems

Their journey, their quest
following his natal star
leading them to Jerusalem

The king, the theocracy
unaware, scared
frightened by their news

Meeting them secretly
the king, too coy
sending them on

The star appearing
joy in its light
leading them onward
guiding them to his bed

Kneeling in wonder
the king before them
offering him gifts
worthy of his name

Worshiping the child
the infant before them
the living fulfillment
the prophecy of old

Warned in a dream
the treachery of Herod
secretly going
another way home
