Mostly I imagine the Magi
heads tilted
eyes upward
peering into night skies
searching for the wild star.

I see them draped in star-light
drawn onward
resolute as can be
given the uncertainty of stars
and how unknown the destination.

And yet this year,
I’m drawn to the ground
the ground beneath their feet.
Look long at this.

One step at a time.
We enter in
new dreams, fresh resolve, vital hope
one grounded step at a time.
