On this Holy Saturday

On this Holy Saturday

coming to the tomb, the cross,

the sentry before the church

standing vigil to remind us

the symbol of our sin

and of God’s great sacrifice

The scene different, darker

the silence of this morning

the crown of thorns, the cross

Christ shrouded, entombed,

wrapped in the silence,

in the garment of our sorrow

Waiting, silently, in the fabric

the weight of our sorrow

standing enclosed, cocooned

waiting for the miracle

the radical transformation, joy,

the morning, the moment

of Christ’s resurrection
