Wonder 2

 double reversed etheree 

Where can I go until this all makes sense?
When will I get it straight in my head?
And how do I explain to mom?
Telling Joseph will be hard.
Where did Gabriel go?
She rose hurriedly
from the vision
with new
faith.
Trust
confirmed
with insight,
Mary sojourns
to her cousin’s home.
There, great exaltation
validates her trust in God -
broadcasting the Messiah’s birth,
heralding His praise from joyful lips.
God has pronounced benison upon her.
