The Servant

It wasn't easy
but in the dark
They slipped unnoticed
into midnight sky
The master pointed to the heavens
and he saw the Star
Firey shiny beacon
far away

And they knew that
If found out
Fame and fortune
could not help them in this land
and so they travelled under cover
of the caravan
in the company of strangers
met on the road

It led them onward to a place he'd never seen
a lifetime's wonderings came together from a dream
his eyes they glowed now with the same light shining down
as they moved towards that town

When they reached that
secret place
he followed, hidden
by night shadow grace
gifts were offered
sacred and plain
the light around the cradle
his spirit claimed

They were standing in a space they'd never seen
a lifetime's wonderings came together from a dream
their eyes were glowing with the same light shining round
as they made their way from town

That night his master set him free
to stay or follow, or be whatever he could be
"You felt the wonder---
your Secret too"
" if you felt the wonder
Its your Secret too,
My friend"

Years Later
He wrote his whole Life down
Hid it in the sand
Safe from Jealous hands
til we could understand

When we are standing in a place we've never seen
Our lifetime's wonderings come together in a dream
Our eyes aglowing with the same light we have found
Then the circle's come full round.
