Different virgins

Image of the virgin

In a fountain with Jesus on her lap

The water flows from the right

Life giving fountain.

Image of the Virgin – walled garden

She with her baby

She is the fruitful, nourishing walled garden

And on her face she ponders

She sorrows

She sits in a reverie

Burning bush

She is the burning bush

Her clothes a covered in branches of flame and fire

Red hot

Arms outreaching face inward smiling

The promise of the Old Testament

Never fading rose

She is the never fading rose

Her garment – creations plants and flowers

Fruitfully pollinating, blooming in their prime

Her garments overgrown

With fragrant fruitfulness

Baby in her arms.
