Annunciation

Don’t try to understand

                                      a mystery

Just listen

                  and wait

                                    for no answer

Listen to what nature

                                    left unsaid

The gap

               between seed

                                    and tree

Listen like Mary

                          trembling

                                         alone

Overborne

                  by urgent creation

Asking only How?

                             and answering

Yes
