Advent - Mary

If you want the Virgin will come walking down the street

pregnant

with Light and

sing

                                St John of the Cross

Ah Sacred One

who lives and moves

in us

and around us

Ah Sacred One whose ways

are mystery

do not allow us

in our limited minds

to reason away the mystery

to take what is wild and free

and life giving

to take the powerful wind of the spirit

and reduce it

to nothing more

that words

and platitudes

and rule

and dogma

all the sacred mystery to be

and bloom

as unexpectedly and certain

as the child in Mary’s womb
