The Word

My annual reflection on Easter…

“Father. Forgive them”
Spoken from a place of God-forsaken pain
deep incomprehensible love for all
who cried
“Hosanna” and
“Crucify Him” in one
breath

“It is finished” breaks the earth,
tears religion top to bottom
Regained access to our Creator

And when death is buried
sealed, guarded,
dawn comes…
The stone removed
reveals astonishing Truth:

“He is not here.
He is risen.”
