Transcending trainees
trail our trio awed
by its regal mystery –
repressing passion
in arid nausea,
hiking duality trails
with camels and
bearded earthly kings -
conversing Bedouin
ethics, monogamy,
time journeys
by association.

We sip kava
quietly laugh
at this our evening
entourage and their
youthful dialect -
then pause, gasp
as the trail brightens
silver with the Star.

The Magus points west.
Myrrh is in the air.

Some powerful imagery and messages here. Transcendence, duality, following stars and wise men. I have traveled alongside Bedouins. I have traveled with Muslims, Christians, Bahais, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, agnostics and atheists. And I know of myrhh and frankinsense. But I may have to come back again to this poem, as I'm not sure my understanding is your intent.

(sigh) I too don't know if I understand what you meant to interpret in these words either but I too saw it as what Kacy said; a journey with various different angles! (big hugggssssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Craig, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
