If you want, the Virgin will come walking down the street
Pregnant with the Holy and say
I need shelter for the night, please take me inside your
heart
My time is so near
Then under the roof of your soul you will witness the
sublime
Intimacy, the divine, the Christ
Taking birth
Forever
As she grasps your hand for help, for each of us
Is the midwife of God, each of us
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
the fire of fierce love
and quench it
to take the powerful wind of the spirit
and reduce it
to nothing more than words and platitudes
rules and dogma
We can
It is possible
abort the birth of the divine
fail to allow love to be born
through us
Or
we can birth the Sacred
allowing that which permeates us
that with which God has impregnated us
to seep out of our souls
raw and screeching
unavoidable, inconvenient, and yet
the most precious gift
a treasure we welcome with wonder
and share
God
GodWithUs
GodInUs
Liberator and redeemer
the savior of the world
There is pain in the birthing
and danger too
But in the fullness of time
we, full of the mystery
can no longer resist the compulsion to give birth
Jesus will come
Irresistible
Transforming
Born forever
in us
in spite of us
a light that comes
into the darkness
and is not overcome
The Sacred Child
making us Sacred Children too
