7.22.09 St. Mary Magdalene

John 20:1-2, 11-18

Why are you crying?
The morning air seemed crisp and sharp
but all was a blur
the hope
the love
buried and taken
Why are your crying?
at the empty tomb
fresh in the morning light
with the stench of death
gone
go tell
Mary
beloved of Jesus
tell the others
what you do not see
and what is there
the tomb empty
and the Son of God
free from the bounds that held him
Go and tell
as the first to announce to the world
life
death conquered
and the gift
life
given
