Psalmiak

Mary Magdalene and Jesus

I walk beside him, to listen

and learn from his words and his deeds.

He gives me stunning impressions:

human and divine intertwined.

I hear him speak of the kingdom

belonging to children at heart.

He makes me think of a mother

embracing her small ones with joy.

I see him touch those who suffer

and heal them and raise them from death.

He shows me secrets of healing,

of pain, and forgiveness, and peace.

I hear him talk to the wise ones

and shock them with wisdom from God.

He tells me truths in the riddles;

simplicity veils inner depths.

I see him walking on water

and calming the storm of the sea.

He leads me into the dwellings

where life springs from bread and a cup.

I see him suffer in anguish

and die, and be put in a grave.

He shows me that love is divine

and splendour is given to earth.

I see him early one morning

when heaven’s transparency glows.

He gives me Life through the Spirit,

and calls me: Apostle of God.
