Not Quite Wordless Wednesday: The Beginning of the 12 Days Poem

COMMENCEMENT (Prelude)

After Gabriel came

Adonai curled around me

And in me.

Nothing was the same.

i thought i had lived before ~

He brought me wild,

Abundant, full Life.

Now Joseph

Has brought fresh straw.

i lie back,

Cradling Adonai's Son

Curled against my breast -

Peace and calm reign.

We begin new life.
