a christmas devotion
a newborn baby
an everyday miracle
but now the Word
made flesh a heart
that will stop a mind
that dissolves within
the nailed and lanced
corpse love incarnate
flesh and death formed
uniquely to take my
hand and yours here
is no lawgiver but a
threshold over time
and every matter
infused with spirit
encountering no
yesterday or
tomorrow but the
abyss we drop
into the vortex of
a new creation
where nothing holds
us tenderly as Mary
enfolds and suckles
her son divinity is
no idea but the
arms of strength
and tenderness that
cannot be seen or
proved just cradled
crucified crowned
