Madonna and child



Madonna and Child (an unfinished touch)The gift of life is gathered,
in sinew and in cell,
as woman brings to being,
a child, a soul, a self.
The mother carries in her heart,
the memory of days,
when whispered sure creation
weaves mortal truth again.

  2. i often wondered how it must have been for her...frightening in a way for sure but also the knowing and the magic.. and for us as well...i have three kids...always was in awe about the new life growing in me...a breeze of eternity amidst mortality..

    1. I see the Madonna image as metaphor and symbolic of all mothers since I don't believe in a literal Madonna and since the image and story of the Madonna and Child has been with humanity from the very beginning and long before Christianity took it up.
