My ramblings....

They Heard!......?

In a far away land
Amidst jungles and green rain
Rocks heated by the sun and woven cloths dried
There was a man, golden brown
Met in the valley by a woman, so white
She wore the clothes of the convent, grey and heavy, armor from earthly delight
She looked on with determination and pride
This woman had not travelled by boat or by foot
But appeared one day in a grassy plain
Meeting the man on his morning hunt

She spoke of a man, hung from a tree
Blood from his side, for their depravity he had died
And from a cavernous rock he would arise
Come to wrap them in silk, come to bless their tongue
Teach them to eat and how to shoot a gun

She befriended this man, with her babbling word
He took her to the people, they sighed at the sight
A woman translucent, keep her from melting in the sun!
They put her inside, pillows strewn across her bed
Oh the sight oh the sight, (the Lord's glory, she said)
Either that or this covered woman's face, piercing eyes, her milky head
So they bowed to her, the picture she held
And sang as she sang
And shouted out loud

They've all turned to heaven, the mighty news was proclaimed
Oh Spain, make them clothing to cover their skin
And the woman and man who once met in that field
Their friendship so dear, so truly comprehended
She became a saint, a patron of the land
In Europe they painted her image (of course holding the crucified lamb)
And in her iris was seen the imprint of that golden skinned man
Across the ocean, the man who heard her, who deeply understood
On his earlobe was inscribed the Song of Solomon
