Genesis 3:9-15,20; Psalm 98: 1-4; Ephesians 1:3-6,11-12; Luke 1:26-38

what angel would come
with a voice of knowing
to tell you
who you are to be
mother of a savior
to a world in need
chosen for
some immaculate conception
engineered
in a distant heaven
you are outside
the realm of our humanity
unreachable
from our perceptions
distant mother
how are we to live
without a guidance
we can understand
born not immaculate
and can you know us
who put you there
by what decree
are you the other
that we cannot know
or is perhaps
some “yes”
passed through the ages
from the foundation
of time
the purifying agent
releasing you
and Him
and all of us
into our eternal home

Mary, full of grace, who are you now?
