An Uneasy Rest

On the Sabbath day they rested
not because this was their choice
Christ’s body in the tomb
unprepared for his journey
his descent to the dead

An uneasy rest
their master in the ground
unsure what would come
remembering his words
rising on the third day
wondering what that meant

Quiet on the Sabbath
praying, perhaps
behind closed doors
fear gripping the disciples
wondering what was in store
what the future would hold
