Light

 

over the years so much written about light

“But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?”*

“blinded by the light”

“you light up my life”

“this little light of mine”

“Light of the world”

 

but in the dark of night

so long ago

it took no words,

only one star, one Light

to lead the way and give the journey purpose

not just for the three

but for all

 

so on the Twelfth day we gather

and celebrate

and look for the light in our own lives

and tarry not for long as we move

towards it

with an Epiphany

that the Light is always there, waiting,

guiding,

a beacon of love for all
