Salutation
Luke 1:39–45
Framed in light,
Mary sings through the doorway.
Elizabeth’s six-month joy
jumps, a palpable greeting,
a hidden first encounter
between son and Son.
And my heart turns over
when I meet Jesus
in you.
~ Luci Shaw

(This is neither the first nor the last time Luci Shaw will appear here. I have been struck particularly by Shaw's poems in this season. They bring us to the heart of things with such apparent ease, such simplicity and clarity. You can find her poetry collections at any online bookseller.)
