The heart of Mary

9/ 28/ 09 

in the silence, i am waiting
hearing the own flames in my heart burn quietly,
trembling at the winds
that are starting to tear through this place


watching the greatest revolution of all history,
of all time
your people finally falling in love with you, one by one
heart by heart
letting go of the tools of religion
no more confined, memorized worship
no more painfully carved times of the day to slap open the Bible
no more prayers whispered with eyes averted and heart elsewhere
no more idols.
for you are captivating our hearts
to surrender, so in love
so in love
so in love
that we cannot help but to live for you, the least of what you deserve
amazed at the way you give your heart to us
so freely, so recklessly, so longingly
moved to
move your very being,
until the walls fall down, and there is only an endless freedom that we walk in
an overflow that will continue all the way to heaven.
we are learning the heart of Mary. 


i heard of the overflow, but i never knew
it could be like this

never knew i could belong to you like this
