Star of Bethlehem
No supernova that.
It left no trace.
A comet? No, for
such must have been seen
by literate
watchers of the night-time scene
in lands far from and
near that stall of grace.
Alignment or
conjunction?
They'd bestir astrologers
to go and greet a
king, long prophesied,
who made past
scriptures ring
with Peace, Truth,
Justice.
Cause to travel
far.
Far, far indeed;
perhaps some twenty moons or so,
of rivers,
sandstorms, hills and plain
and local
brigandry.
With pointer wild,
mysteriously guiding them to
God's own Son.
And with genius,
YAHWEH ordained that sign
To be his hallmark
of the Saviour Child.
