Beautiful woman,
Mary,
and the ones before you
and after you,
givers of life,
wise women.
No wonder in his hallucination
John on Patmos
saw a dragon after you.
But the dragon has not scales
but the appearance of scared men.
Not the dragon
found on pages celebrating
inhuman masculinity,
but the insane brotherhood
on quest for power.
But you reflect the earth,
and the heavens,
life giving,
blessed for all generations,
for through you are generations.
Teach me to love,
to open up,
to receive the promise.
Our God has prepared
a place for you
in the desert.
May I come for a visit
to be reborn?
(Revelation 11:19, 12:1-6, 10, Psalm 45, 1 Corinthians 1 20-27, Luke 1:39-56-- Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary)
