And The Wind Whispered 'Mary' ~*Marge Tindal*~ On a night long ago, Wind came calling out 'Mary' - knew her by name Blew across the barren plains in a land so very far away Found 'Mary' sheltered safe inside a stable in the countryside Saw Joseph standing by his bride in wait of a miracle yet to be born Gently, Wind buffeted about in awe at the vision of the star he saw Rising in the sky without flaw Shining brightly in celestial adorn From within the stable bare came a mewing breath of air that the Child of God would wear to teach the world to sing in mirth Suddenly Wind began to claim 'Mary'-'Mary' blessed is thy name Blew in gusts, then he came to spread the news of Jesus' birth Wind summoned angels in to see as the Babe lay so quietly Cradled ever so gently in the lap of 'Mary' 'Mary' smiled at Wind and said This Babe now sleeps in manger bed You've warmly blown upon His head Wind wept tears in gentle shed at the compassionate glory of 'Mary' So if upon this eve so bright you should hear Wind tonight Listen closely, you will hear so dearly 'Mary'-'Mary' praised on Wind so clearly ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
