Štefanija Ludvig, CR
Free Verse
Luck in Thee
Thou exist in my heart
Thou are my friend
Through Thee I mourn
and look forward to
Only Thou know
my real truth
of badness and goodness
When fear and panic
want to break me
in my soul
I'll pick up my hands
to Thee in a pray
I will thank Thee
when Thou with the wind
take my painful trouble
Joy of my Heart
Here
in the middle
of the Deity
In my mental
inner me
I stand completely calm
Free of depression
My look reaches
to the distant violet Alps
which are kissing
the blue sky
Humble and crushed heart
I enjoy in endless sight
which Thou
offered to me
for joy of my heart
Thou encourage me
to the beauty again
because Thou
taught me to live
and recognize the
chords of universe
Suddenly
Mother
You
became the Mother
You
didn't know how
You
chosen among common people
pure innocent girl
Get pregnant by the Holy Spirit
Mother among mothers
You
gave birth to the Son
the greatest among us
Dearest Mother!
Mother of Us All
who by giving birth to the Son
became Holy
Humble hearts we pray
the intercession to protect
us and our children
Thou
Queen of Heaven
please
Hear our prayer
and give the charity
over the sins of the people
