What was their conversation,
their thoughts as they
traveled
on the long caravan
the journey to Jerusalem
to the temple, the palace of
the king
on to Bethlehem, the city of
David
the home of the old line of
kings
Hot, dusty road westward
to the land of Israel
heavy-laden animals
uncertainty at what the star
what the star would illumine
the prophesy unfold
Following a moving star
carrying gifts for a king
to the manger, to the Christ
on the long journey
to Bethlehem
