The Sabbath had passed

Haiku of the rising





The Sabbath had passed.

The women came to the tomb

with spices of love.



The tomb was empty.

The stone had been rolled away.

Much bewilderment.



Two men appeared, bright,

shining with eternity.

The women trembled.



Why look here, among

the dead. The one whom you seek

is with the living.



These things that happened,

death giving way to rising;

a purpose divine.



They sought out the men

with their unlikely story.

They were not believed,



Resurrection’s proof

remains elusive. Made real

only by a few.
