A Sunday Morning
A Sunday Morning
A small group of women
slowly approach a
tomb hewed from a
local hill.
A bright rising sun
begins to peek over
the horizon as the first
day of the new week dawns.
The Roman soldiers lay
all about the entrance
in different poses
as if asleep.
The mighty stone that
blocked the small
entrance to the hole of
death is rolled away.
The women approach and
look inside. The rock bed
where He lay is empty
save for the blood-stained shroud.
At the head and foot
sit two men garbed
in white as if guarding
the shroud.
He is not here. The
women gasp as one
to see the empty rock bed
and they wonder what next.
