Rejoice rejoice that the taken seed
asserts its place; the voice
love summoned up now shouts out, Be
become, come; we dare to rejoice.
Others name God, praise God;
we merely and perfectly exhibit Him;
our silent blood embraces seed and shape
God warrants good. Our rejoicing voices
tremble but do not trouble the unborn
witnesses who wear
God’s garment gloriously.
Glory be to God or love and love, the time
needs lovers; make them.
Lunar months will form, wake and show them
sacred forever and knowing, as may
the God-made, God-loved, how to love.
--Mary Ponsot, Conception, May 21, 1955
