THE RESURRECTION OF THE CHRIST

RESURRECTION

Neither nails hold, nor time, nor tomb.

Having entered darkest night, with the stone rolled shut,

Light inaccessible is your domain, Oh Nazarene!

 

The passing forms of a whirling world cannot define you.

Your flesh, so vulnerable, is spun

into its finest form: divinity invisible.

 

You are. All time is gone. All is.

And those who share the darkness of your tomb

are with you in light.

 

Now the tomb is empty.

Now fragrance fills the world.
