And The Wind Whispered, 'Mary' ~*Marge Tindal*~ On an evening, so 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 proclaim '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 ever-angelically 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 clearly 'Mary' - 'Mary' praised in song on Wind so dearly *This woman so *gifted* us in the birthing of Our Lord Jesus* ~Unto each season ... there is a reason to celebrate~ *Let the gentle winds of Christmas blow your way once more* ~Re-mailing my favorite Christmas piece~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Lovely.. You have a wonderful time with those precious ones. So they too will hear the wind blowing softly.. The time and love you give to them will always be remembered and they will hear "Poet, poet" whispering softly for many long years ahead. |

Marge, this is just gorgeous. I am covered in goose bumps thinking of this breath that speaks life and of your brother in Florida and those who are experiencing the devastation of hurricanes. We can and must listen for that gentle beam of living love! Your poem is exquisite, and I want to add, you are a beautiful lady. I love the likeness from your profile. Karen |
