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 that day the sun had no place
in all the universe to pour its gold
but her small room
– Luci Shaw, ‘Virgin’ in Accompanied By Angels: Poems of the Incarnation (Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans, 2006), 15.
Amen! The great wonder and worship of the Incarnation! Aye, Mary ever Virgin says the Catholic faith! Theologically / creedally Mary Theotokos! :)
