The mystery of Mary

Creating a human

Carrying our God

And becoming mother

To us all

To have a longing

Takes us out of ourselves

Out of our little nit picking lives

And into our dreams

It feels as if our hearts

Are pulled outside our chests

And we can’t help but follow.

There is a kindness kernel

In the Christmas message

A singing bell ringing through

And we hear it sounding

From a rustic manger

As the babe is born

Our God is kind

We look for God around the corner

Of every trouble we encounter

We seek God’s help

Every time we hit hard ground

Wondering why God doesn’t answer

We are betrayed 

And unheard

But oh the joy

When we finally find Jesus

Here amongst it all

Our God

With us

The Holy Infant did not gradually infiltrate

Or seep into our world

It was a grand irruption

Of the divine 

Into the profane

A great piercing of our bubble

And we will never be the same

Hope of a baby

Reaching out from the distance

Making our lives whole

This is a story

Of Mary visited by an angel

Trying not to be afraid

So she went and spent time

With her relative Elizabeth

Who was also pregnant

Both tasked with a big task

Trying to understand

Spending girl time

Together.
