EPIPHANY
five wise
women
maybe six
walk slowly
across the
horizon
a midnight landscape
lit by one
star
guided by white
owls
led by an
incurable Call
to a
Medicine Man
who holds
Time
in his hands
ready to offer
an altered
perception
or is it an
altar
to live differently
each female
figure
bears a gift
wrapped in
gold
the box holds
a vessel
which brims
with
bubbling, fermenting,
fizzing,
sparkling time
the wise
women slowly
reach the wise
man
in an inn of
dazzling light
and animal
scat
the Medicine
Man
who knows
everything
about Incarnate
Being
holds a medicine
bag
for each
person who finds him
to reward
her search
and offer a pouch
full of remedies
maybe magic
to heal bondage
to time
and
initiation into
timeless
Time
each
journeyer
receives calibration
to the
underlying rhythm
that suits her
days
to move in the
world
and be in
the day
a liturgical
way
Quite the gift, that of time, or perhaps better described as timeless time away from time. Liturgical -- for you this day (and with grace, many more)
