Poem for Easter John 20:1-18 The Empty Tomb

It is over and done
The hosannas silent
Palm branches withered and dry
Time only to clean up and begin anew
Mary went
Details to care for
In the dark of the morning
Before
The dawn of a new day
Through the mist and tears
There was
…..nothing…..
In fear and panic she was the first to tell
….nothing….
That filled the morning air
They have taken him
...nothing…
Leaving only a few strips of cloth
..nothing..
As the loved one and Peter went home
.nothing.
To nothing
Mary!
Mary!
Arise my child
Rabboni!
You have something to say
The first to the world
Of that blessed day
He is Risen!
He is Risen indeed!
Go tell the others
It is over and done
Christ is risen!
A new day,
The new era
The new life has begun.
