Star

Star poem by Iris Carden

They left their home
for a country afar.
They watched the night sky
and followed a star.

They crossed barriers
of country and faith,
following a light,
in search of the great.

They went to a palace
in search of a king
not knowing the danger
that visit would bring.

The child-king they sought
had no privilege at all:
he made his home
among the most poor.

Some times what we seek
is not what we find.
Questions and answers
don't always align.

When a star calls you forth
into your own night,
perhaps you will find
an unexpected light.
