THE WINDSONG

THE WINDSONG

The power of God irradiating

      around a blinding figure

        of Mary, the Gospa* Virgin

transmuting the grace of God

         through the medium of her being

as a windsong rustles through the flute.

The windsong of mercy; of compassion, and love

       of intense Spirit-energy and flowing freedoms from sin

the windsong of the Christborn

      symbolised by stable; simplicity; and humbleness

superb in selflessness; in glory; in love.

And her; the shining light

       of centuriesaged wisdom and brokenhearted love

the lamp of the Davidlineage and the facestamp of her mother

    bearer of God's lamp of Light, hopeful through the ages.

She strides, tender-shod, terrible-footed

      tender to the weak, mighty to the hopefilled.

A powerful woman;

   her power being her humility,

her tranquillity,

   her simplicity.
