Birthing

In darkness, the miracle crafting,
Exit from the womb, now searching,
Pain searing, room ever crowding,
Ready now, behold, the birthing.
~ D.F.

Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe,
Patroness of the Unborn

In the Making

With patient love, watchful, guarding,
The Eden within her being,
For the Tree of Life, at last flowering,
God-is-with-Us, in the making.
~ D.F.

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,” which means “God is with us.”
~ Matthew 1:23

Waking

Distant now, the angel’s greeting,
Eight months had passed, waiting,
Then from winter’s still, arising!
God within her, gently stretching.

tête-à-tête

A restful heart,
Her love, deeply felt,
With playful kicks,
His love, gently dealt.
~ D.F.

Refuge

An ocean within, drifting,
The hour racing, late,
Until Mary at last, finding,
A refuge, a home, a bed.

~ D.F.

This flower reminds me of a trophoblast, an early embryo, which drifts in the womb before finally implanting.
