Mary, bearer and burier
Of your Son -
Your dark protective womb
Contained the vast Eternal One
Who had said, "Let there be light."
You gazed upon the child
Whose visage
Was denied to the prophets of old
And held delicately the King of Ages.
You watched the Light of the World
Hung up for all to see
And was then emtombed in a darkened cave
So enabling humble people to truly see.
I will stand with you and all the saints
To praise your Son
In the immense, illuminous heaven -
Together worshipping the pierced, the risen One.
