My Prayer-Poem for Friday 9 April 2021
(Sixth poem for the Easter Octave)
This is the second stanza of a longer poem about the resurrection.
Next stanza tomorrow..


Counter to expectation,
the grave was not the same
as they had seen just days before
when Roman sentries came.
Now open wide, unguarded,
the women at the tomb
confront a young man dressed in white
in early morning gloom.
