Ancient walls

Light falls. Through the archway. Across timeworn stones.

We sit in cool shade. Island breeze, soft. The old city, silent.

Footsteps echo in narrow passageways. Against ancient walls. In Malta.

Climbing uneven steps, we look out across a valley. Small villages scattered here and there. White houses. Flat roofs.

These stretch out to a defined edge. On the Mediterranean Sea. 

Ancient walls. Malta, 2022.

Star bright

Star light. Star bright. 

Catching the eyes of those who study night skies. 

Radiance. Set apart. Outshining all the others.

Something unusual is going on. Beyond normal star patterns. And they mark the time of its appearing.

I look up in the early dark of winter sky. And think about those wise men long ago.
