The Annunciation

I was in college when I first came across this in a devotional bible. Loved it then... still love it now.

Virgin

by Luci Shaw

As if until that moment

nothing real

had happened since Creation

As if outside the world were empty

so that she and he were all

there was — he mover, she moved upon

As if her submission were the most

dynamic of all works: as if

no one had ever said Yes like that

As if one day the sun had no place

in all the universe to pour its gold

but her small room

Happy Feast of the Annunciation! :)
