Mary

Mary~
A quiet
scared
humble
teenager
willing to carry inside of her
Hope~
the quiet comfort
sustaining presence
soft
serene
embrace
that captures fears
with the silent wisdom
of a single star in the pitch black sky

Willing to carry inside of her
Peace~
the deep longing
for calm surrender of white flag waving—
angers distilled
hate stripped away
beauty pouring over
filling up the aching gray spaces inside

Willing to carry inside of her
Joy~
a coming out of the empty places
with laughter
filling
sustaining
leaping
twirling
glimmering
dancing
with arms wide open

Willing to carry inside of her
Love~
the indescribable,
glorious
heart of God

A quiet
scared
humble teenager
was
Willing.
