Love With Us (Again)

You ponder how

such a possibility

could become Reality

when she was

merely a girl

not even one

score (forget three)

and wide-eyed with 

wonder, open-minded with

curiosity and strong-hearted 

with bravery to 

engage anxious unpredictability 

to co-create radiant 

incarnality beyond potentiality

(I can imagine 

it was daunting 

and haunting to

know that tremblingly

tangoing with transcendence

and dearly dancing

with Divine destiny 

will ultimately lead

to tremendous resistance

from those created

to nurture her

that she ended

up nurturing herself)

when unrealistic expectations 

meet with idealistic

anticipations replete with

messy antics and 

messianic venerations to

nearly necessitate retreat

yet here she

goes and shows

again what courage

beholds and beauty

unfolds in thunder

foretold a new

day of birth

a precious Being

of matchless worth...

Love With Us.
