Mary at the tomb
trembles with fear.
“My lord is gone;
What have they done?”
Peter comes;
lacking faith,
returns home.
Mary weeps
before the angels
fears the presence behind.
“Why weep?”
“Rabbouni!”
Mary sees . . .
We visit the tomb;
find emptiness.
We fail to see
the presence,
who lives within.
We are comforted
by this presence,
by this love.
We live in this embrace
heartened by the warmth
of this blessed embrace.
