MARY OF THE DESERT
You are the one oasis
from which sprang forth
that Stream
which fructifies all life.
You are the calm oasis
where our nomadic souls
find rest
and are lulled again to sleep
by whispering of His will.
You are the fruitful oasis
in our desert of sparsity
for to you we raise
our tired hands of sorrow
to beg for the Fruit of your womb.
Sister M Ethna OSF
Cord. November 1966
From 'A Silence full of bells'
