Christmas Journey: Journey to Bethlehem: Part 1( Nature journey carrying gold, silver, and incense)

Angels on rounds
Holy Angels on rounds
Journeying with people
Who search the Lord
Angels on journey
Along the path of Bethlehem
Eastern Wise men on journey
Western star the destiny
They journey to Bethlehem
In the vision of hope
In the sight of wonder star
In the prediction of heavenly king
Wise men travel from far
Travel in the nights following star
Persistent in their pursuit
Consistent in moving forward
Resilient to the ordeals
Relentless in the journey
Find the repose in the star

They journey in many seasons
The nature changed around them in many colors
Eastern green fields
Middle eastern sandy dunes
Western winter - all
On the way the wise men endured

Nature in journey
Along the wise men on the way
Green lush fields
Blooming colorful meadows
Green dense trees
Clear starry skies
Silver globe full moon
Gentle evening breezes
Singing birds flights
Running animals joy
Buzzing insects songs
Crawling creatures busy
Running silvery springs
Rushing tides of rivers
Bright sun warmth
Abundant fruits of glad tidings
Summer season shines
On the way of wise men travel
Nature in journey
Expectation of Human salvation
Expecting son of man and son of God
To be born in Bethlehem

Nature in journey
Along the wise men on the way
Aroma in the air
In the Spring season they travel
Roses, sandel, Rose wood, jasmine, lillies
spread incense on the way
All kinds of blooms spread the scent in air
In the season of Spring
Nature carry the fresh scent
Waiting on the Son of God
For the offering to His birth
Nature journey side by side
With the Wise men on the journey
Who carry the incense
As a offering to King
Wise men and nature
On the journey to Bethlehem
They carry incense
To offer to the king


Nature on journey
Along the wise men on the way
Green trees turned golden
In gradual transformation in progress
Among the forest they travel- midst of
Tall trees canopy nature wonder
Contemplative wise men travel
In the spectacular change in season
Warm sun turn dimmer
Cool breeze turn into cold front
Green leaves transform
Make colossal beauty on the way
Dark green ever green
Peeping among the golden trees
Yellow trees peak along the bushes
Brown leaved trees scattered all along the way
Orange leaved trees stand bright along the path
Red trees stand alone all over the land
Golden trees stand out among the dense forest
Green, yellow, orange, red, golden, and brown
Colossal color of forest
announcing the Fall season
On the way of wise men travel
Nature in journey
Carrying gold in their attire
along with the wise men
Expectation of Human salvation
Expecting son of man and son of God
To be born in Bethlehem

Soon the cold wind appear
Soon the cold rains followed
Striped trees became nude
standing still waiting on winter
Steady snow fall continues
Makes the shining silver trees
Far snow mountains silver peaks
Near the snow laden trees silver branches
Snow bedded ground all over
white pure silent stillness endure
Nature on journey
In silent silver attire
Nature carry silver
To the king of Kings arrival
along with wise men
Travel through the winter
