Epiphany

by Sarah Rossiter in the January 30, 2019 issue

After the Birth,
The season of light—
Out of the darkness,
The moonflower opens,
Luminous, petals
Unfurling in the night,
As the star beckons,
Guiding us across
The lunar landscape
To the stable lit
By new life, a candle
Cradled, light bearing
Light.
