while the universe
held its breath
and waited
a fire ignited
within her
and burst forth
from her belly
as a yes,
yes let it be...
+
and
the cosmos
turned cartwheels
and history
took a new turn
as God prepared
himself
to be encased in flesh,
her flesh would hold him
+
her flesh would hold him
nurture and feed him,
her flesh would protect, guard
and hide him from harm,
this was no timid yes,
but a yes that
flowed from a conviction
a steely resolve...
yes let it be...
+
no matter what,
let it be...
I loved this picture shared with me today, her face and eyes say it all, don't mess with me...
