the heart of Mary



                     the time had come
                  the plan set in motion
              the heartbeat with no beginning and no end
                         began to pulse with life
                               as the Creator of life
                                    became one of His created
                         that heartbeat barely a flutter
                     inside of a girl young
                             a girl trusting
                            a girl willing to say yes...
                         to be a momma to the One who
                                       flung stars into space
                                  formed mountain and valley
                               told ocean waves how far
                                          they could go
                           created the very ground
                       on which she knelt in awe
                 the Composer of the entire world's life song 
            the Conductor of the symphony of life...
                    because her heart was willing
              her world...her life song...were forever changed
                 
         Mary's heart was a heart after the very heart
                         she would birth...
                             Jesus
                                
                         a heart emptied of self
                             filled with Jesus

                  how amazing to think that
                      the heart she gave
                            would beat for the
                                  heart growing in her...
                            the heart which in turn would
                         give her heart life
                               give all hearts life




                       the heart born that holy night
                     still beats
                   with love tender yet strong
                 that heartbeat underlies all
               the pulsating rhythmic beating of His heart
            is the beat to which every life song sings
         even those hearts not yet aware of His deep deep love
       love so deep He lowered His heart to our hearts
               so our hearts could be raised with His heart

                that furious and glorious and relentless love
                     pursues to the last heartbeat
                         for His heart beats for every heart
                              ever lived past
                                     present
                                 future
                              until
                          the plan set in motion that
                      first Christmas night
                   is completed
