Steps of the Magi

Walking, tracing, the steps of the Magi
each of us, alone, traveling the way they journeyed
sights set on his light, his star, still burning
across the miles, the millennia, part of us
our history, our day to day, walking on
by faith, by grace, yoked for Christ
we follow the steps of the Magi
like them longing for the Messiah
the fulfillment of all prophecy
anticipating his face, his love
knowing more of the story,
his life, his sacrifice, his resurrection
things they did not see
on that journey long
so long ago, going
traveling, now
to our future
home again
with God
