Queen of Heaven, Earth

First Eve’s own choice to eat gave back her crown
And lost for all of us was earth’s first queen;
Now earth’s sharp thorns must shape a crown wrapped ‘round
The brow of One will enter Eden clean.

God’s angel sent to maid of Nazareth–
he child of Anna, Mary is her name–
To ask her womb to open for His breath
To bring His Son to fleshly nature claim.

Like Eve, her heart is free to make that choice
For her heart’s pure by choice of her first Son
To wear that crown of thorns with silent voice—
Bleeds back in time from cross, her sin undone.

And Mary of New Eden crowned as Queen
Of heaven and of earth, her Son makes clean.
