A Poem for the Annunciation

Published March 25, 2014 • Written by Shawn Rain Chapman Filed Under: Blog

How do you think Mary felt
When I infused her body and soul
With Myself
And she became the Spirit’s Bride?

She had always lived innocently
In My presence
But I had never touched her soul

Until I sent an Angel into the arc of her beauty
to inquire of her gentleness

If she would be my everything
For the sake of the world

And she opened to Me
As soon as she knew-
Though she did not know what I would do.

How beautifully she consented
And gave Me everything.
From then on I looked out on the world

From her eyes.
