And then He was gone

Too soon, after their moment of clarity
the bewildered, mourning disciples
in an instant they understood
the strange was the Lord, risen,
walking with them home
revealed, in the act of sharing
in the breaking of the bread
after the Lord’s blessing
And then He was gone
his task complete
their eyes open
to the risen Christ
