Annunciation 2

Suddenly she feels
The concavity of darkness
Pushed back by perfect light.

Suddenly she feels
Her mundane hours
Transfigured by eternity.

Suddenly she feels
Undreamt possibilities
Dancing before her eyes,
And chooses simplicity.

Suddenly she feels
All immensity gathered
Into one small space,
And choosing smaller yet.

Suddenly she feels
Herself-and-not-herself
With a calling that questions identity,
An identity still uncalled.

Suddenly she feels
She knows
Accepts
And wonders,
As impossibility becomes her flesh.
