סֶּלַע / शिला / πετρα

Eugene S.

Three magicians came from the east
To find what they were looking for
Tribute after Tribute after Tribute

Where did they come from, to see
What understanding did they take back
Lesson upon Lesson upon Lesson

Did they take it home just to preserve
For what is carried away must come back
Witness after Witness after Witness

Something revealed and learned again
Denotes a vacuum in the knowledge
Loss after Loss after Loss

And why would it be the magicians
How were they the ones found worthy
Question after Question after Question

Maybe they had just to acknowledge
The great stone that had to be borne
Step after Step after Step
