Three men star struck
Astrologers of great renown,
Following long roads, high mountains
Deserts red and black
On and on,
Knowing they would arrive.
The dromedary stumbled
A gift shifted its weight
A man sighed,
Three silk turbans wrapped heads
Looking upwards
Going west always westward.
Until the storm came
And the blizzard
Obliterated the star
But it was in their hearts;
They needed shelter,
They found a family birthing in a stable
They gave thanks for life.
The snow fell and silenced the world.
