“Son of the Morning. Child of the Dawn!”
Red robed, yellow robed, robed in gold
Charging forward, raising hands
To still the throng about him.
“Oh, Shining Star–” stands above and glitters in the light
“Hear me–follow me. Trust in me—all!”
He tosses gold-flecks coins to outstretched hands.
Then springs to chariot all flash and flare.
“Son of the Morning, Child of the dawn”
Trumpets flourish, follow and die after
In the waiting distance.
Then breezes turn the faces westward
Robed in white, tall and graven
Striding, walking through the parted crowd
He comes Heralding himself in a deep rich voice.
He stands among them, still above
Raised hand and says “Good Morning.
What have I to give you? It is yours.”
Then he turns and goes on from the west toward the dawn,
Treading on forgotten gold, Eastward to the place of white.
He climbs the marble stairs
And up half way they rush to meet him.
Slowly, One in whiter bright robes comes,
Takes him in His arms, “My Son.”
