It is upon us, then, the mystery
of frankincense & myrrh
two planets merge
& we gather listlessly
to glimpse the sign
of him, our Lord
like long ago
the great star shines
albeit in summer heat
we gather close
& tell the tale
that makes the world complete
of frankincense & myrrh
two planets merge
& we gather listlessly
to glimpse the sign
of him, our Lord
like long ago
the great star shines
albeit in summer heat
we gather close
& tell the tale
that makes the world complete
Yesterday two planets, Venus & Jupiter merged in the sky, just as people think they did long ago, to give us the Star of Bethlehem. A welcome sign for Christians, no doubt.
