Mary asked the angel, “But how can this happen? I am a virgin.”

The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God.
_{Luke 1:34-35 NLT}

How
does impossible become
something from nothing
word made flesh
to live among us

How can
perfect love
contained in skin
limited to a heart’s beat
be born in us

How can this
light enter darkness
and make a home
holding all things together
just for you and me

How can this be?
