Recognition
Borne on the breath of a morning fair,
fragrant with flowers and spices rare,
like an opening rose, gently it came.
Was it the gardener who spoke her name?
Mary!
She looked through a veil of tears to see
the one who spoke to her tenderly.
Nail scarred feet and outstretched hand
her seeking heart could understand.
Rabboni!
