+----------------------/My Israel (The Invocation): The Virgin Mary’s Thoughts/Subconscious Invocation to the Angel Gabriel Before He Arrived

At night I adjust the latch on
the door and commence the ritual,
whispering emotionally charged
incantations into fire-
the hot oil in the lamp simmering,
anger, fear, and anxiety in the soul of the Jew,
and as smoke rises from the extinguished
flame, I always reach out
and clench a fistful with my right hand
so my body can feel the warmth of
Moses’s past life, the pillar of fire by night,
and so my skin can to be consoled by
this symbolic answer to my prayers
like the incense of angels in God’s presence,
even if my mind cant quite fathom it yet.
These are dark times
spent staring longingly at the moon.
I am a girl shackled by Caesars tyrannical paganism
raging inside for redemption. I, red eyed and
snarling everytime Roman legions of soldiers
saunter by superciliously, like
the slithering of the serpent who seduced Eve,
indignant when tax collectors go plundering
from village to village, willing to sell their souls
for profit as the rest of us nearly starve
in winter.
Every night is pleading, my day
waiting in patience….for you. (Whoever
you are). You and I are on this crash
course I feel, and that at some point kindred
wills will inevitably collide.
A messenger sent from my dream,
an emissary, a herald of emancipation from
the lives of my grandchildren, perhaps,
too kind to leave my poor heart languishing
in presentiment, and coming back to comfort me 
because I would rather die
than live like this.
Like Jacob I will wrestle with God
until He answers, biting Him through my tears
scratching Him with midnight screams,
and clawing Him with intense silent longing…for
at least some reckoning from above,
nightly scuffles (with just a touch of animus)
for a resolution to all the world’s cynicism and hate,
for the Salvation of Israel,
my Israel. 

-----------------Luke 1:26-38
And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

We, are we out of our minds?
We can't live this way forever, forever
So run, run with me from the ordinary
It's our time to escape, lose ourselves

If we can find a way to break this chain
Within the natural cycle
Leave your answers behind
We'll be there to decide

If we can find the strength
To go our own way, to go our own way
It will take your breath away
Will take your breath away

We, are we out of our minds?
We can't live this way forever, forever
So run, run with me from the ordinary
Come on, it's our time to escape, lose ourselves

We finally found a way to make the change
We'll make the change together
Old ways left behind
Chains will loosen over time

We finally found the strength
To go our own way, to go our own way
No longer are we confined
The power of resolution shines

Now we are free again
We are free again
We are free again

Do I have your attention?
Look what we can create
It will take your breath away
Will take your breath away, away

Do I have your attention?
Now's our time to escape
Found the strength to go our own way

Now we are free again
We are free again, again
Now we are free again
We are free again, again, again
We are free again
