Poem: Marian Verse

 

You are the eternal –mother

larger than life

or death

or anything contained within heaven or earth.

 

You transcend emotions and feelings and thoughts and ideas

into a unique state, a complete being that has existed since the Creator first

envisaged all that is.  Older than the universe

yet as young and innocent as a newborn lamb

a soft shining light that shimmers  over the seas,

a guide for sailors and travelers and lost poets, that sing to you their reverent songs.

 

Bearing your son, you renewed this whole world and made it blossom

In a new spring of hope; 

Offering him back to the Source, to kalymenno, you took on a great sadness,

A wise and dolorous knowledge personified, the ultimate witness to the Divine.

 

To you do I offer salutations, O Lady of Good Counsel, O Undoer of Knots,

in my humble verse I do exalt.  Pierced by daggers, I fall at your feet and seek there

solace and inspiration,

the blessings that pass all belief, that intercede for my every breath,

that bring me to the Threshold of Grace.
