The Annunciation

The Annunciation

Time to knock, live in do tell

what issued forth from beggars hands?

What woven casting spell the earth

heaven colliding understand

The meeting of minds one life being

that day the angel stood and asked,

the day God began to be seen and more

a mere soft touch on human door

She did not wait by the telephone

she never heard it ring

instead she heard the voices cry, 

she heard the voices sing

She understood that asking is and ever shall it be

like a stone that flung on pebble rock

a stone thats cast at sea

I hear you call I understand

we both can see to tell

the spell I cast from my own held hand

is not a road to hell

Annunc to me, I say to you

in land break forth the tide

enlist the life of todays one choice

and find no more to hide

So if you hear the good news joy

rejoice for evermore

and listen always take heed to hear

the knock upon your door
