HAVE YOU SEEN HIM WHOM MY HEART LOVES?

Have you seen the one whom my heart loves? Song 3:3

Resonated by the Mary of Magdala at the wake of Resurrection.

Recall the devastation, the frustration, the wonderment?

Of a woman in love and loss all at once, the confusion?

He soon passed away and was no more; though I looked for him, he could not be found. Psalm 37:36

Here goes the tone of pain.

 

Designate was the voice that called, Mary! John 20:16

Intimate and consummate was the trill, so merry!

The voice pitched in hope, cleared the guise.

Does it happen that the deceased are rekindled?

She sought for a corpse to accord a decent burial,

But HE comes whole, victorious and alive!

The pain turned victory!

 

Feminine audacity, she’s the first herald.

Announcing the Good news! “He’s risen!”

The sinner forgiven much, loves much. Luke 7:47

Many a person will promise love.

But when a woman loves, she loves to bits.

Crowned apostle, sweet little pebble.

Found Him whom her heart loved.

And I do too today.

Have you?
