Darkest Night, Morning Lights

Darkest Night, Morning Lights By Mark D. Stucky
Darkness descends upon the rocky land, and fills a tomb of a slaughtered Lamb. With that unmerited death, everything seems lost, and hope seeps away into stone cracks. Trembling tears and fears consume devastated disciples, scattered about Jerusalem and hiding in shadows. Until the appointed time this Sunday morning, when light bursts forth, vanquishing darkness above and from an empty tomb. Two ascending lights this morning, risen sun and Risen Son. (First published in Agape Review, 17 April 2022. See also my poems "Resurrection iBodies," "The God Behind the Curtain," and "Gilded Crosses?") (Image by Gerd Altmann on Pixabay.com.)
