Epiphany

Three Wise set out to follow Star
     And leave themselves behind;
They know that they will travel far
     And will their true selves find.

At home their burdens they will leave
     So they will travel light;
On journey find a full reprieve:
     Made free of Adam’s blight.

They have been told enough to know
     That they will find a King
Who comes from heaven down below:
     Salvation to us brings.

He also has His journey made
     To crib in Bethlehem;
Brings light to Eden’s eastern shade
     And brings what should have been.

His Paradise He will restore
     To those who to Him come;
What Adam lost for us before
     Will new again become.
