a lonely figure
in silence appears
each Christmas year..
might we make his
place more secure..?
recall his namesake
in Egypt's deep past..
Joseph the Viceroy
with many travails
observes a descent
with ascent foreseen..
let us then imagine
this newer Joseph
in silent watch
pondering his name..
with swift recognition
of the ancient Formula
which eternally repeats:
our many steps down
are concealed within
that One step up..
energy so flows
hidden messianic
Light...
