HAPPY EASTER
It is the whisper of the first breath;
It is the rustle of graveclothes
Being laid aside, folded and
Squared on a cold ledge.
It is the sound of fingertips
Brushing along a hewn wall
In predawn darkness.
It is the rasp of a stone wheel
Grating in its track.
What unearthly stillness
Greets this once-corpse as
He furveys the earth
That had been his torture-chamber.
I hear these sounds
Across two thousand years, and
My lips strain to speak to Him.
I want to tear away
My garments of death.
I grope through my darkness,
My shoulder failing against the weight--
This sound I hear,
This sound I hear
Is the sound of my Jesus
Rising again in
My heart.
...Latanye C. Scott
