FOUR

For all those I know, who are waiting in the unknown…

MAGNIFICAT

She sings, Not knowing the future Not knowing what it holds No details, just a promise She sings

And the doubts take seed “Rejection, shame, Forever alone You will not take his name” Still, she sings This was unexpected They’d dreamed of a King but like this? still, she sings

[Nine months will pass Only she knows the truth Only she knows where she slept And that she slept alone And she sings]

She thinks of the ghosts from the book She knows well The one who built and was mocked Until the rain fell

The one who saw giants, Esther approaching her king, Joseph the dreamer They tell her to sing

She sings, Not knowing the future Not knowing what it holds But knowing the one who holds all things She sings
