Easter Sunday Prayer: A Tomb and A Stone

ELEMENTS OF EASTER

 An Early Easter Morning Reflection

i never heard it
i never saw it
i was busy sleeping
like the rest of the world
it never made a sound
there was no flash of light
no great roar from heaven
is that not how it always happens?
no great hallelujahs
no angelic chorus
no chariots of fire
or mighty army marching

nothing
yet everything

the stone rolled away
the grave clothes were folded
and no one noticed
the empty tomb
