Epiphany – Only a Star

Posted on January 6, 2013 by joanneeddy

Today is the Twelfth Day of Christmas and this is my Epiphany. A poem for my friends……

Was

Only a

Star, a tiny diamond

Twinkling, just twinkling, but a beacon in the deep sapphire sky.

Fearless, it illuminated the stable, pointing the path

for Wise Men and guiding angels.

Only a star braving the night to light the way.

But where is it now when all is so dark? If we really looked

Could we find it shining still, its light full of hope? Afterall

it was only a star, just an epiphany.

Only light, His light,

His Star.

Farewell Christmas. Welcome Wise Men. We need you.
