O Flower of Jesse

O Timeless Flower;

Bud, Seed, Source.  Re-conceive Thy-

Self: Kiss, Peace, Justice!

The psalmist writes: “Your HESED womb love was established forever.” Psalm 89:2

The angel says: “You will conceive in your womb…a kingdom that has no end.” Luke 1:31,33

Jesus says: “The kingdom of God is within/among you.” Luke 17:21

O, Flower, Upside Down,

open, dripping nectar

and catch the dawning light

of tender mercy;

Unfurl yourself, O,

so gracefully, with fearsome

Beauty.

Turn on

all the lights!

Lo, how a rose e’er blooming
