A Day Called Easter
April 17, 2022
(based on Luke 24: 1-12)
In the pre-dawn darkness
they worried their way
to the granite grave.
The whispered:
“How will we?” froze
on their lips
at the sight.
An open, empty tomb
and other-worldly words
of reminder, remember,
and resurrection
sent them scurrying
to the others
mary-questioning
the while,
“How can this be?
Huddled together,
amazed and afraid,
knowing and unsure,
they discussed:
“If Jesus’ words about
rising from the dead
were true,
than so were all the others.”
“Could it be,”
they mused, “we must
live, as Jesus did,
threatened with resurrection?”
