Chris McDonnell: Resurrection

Resurrection

Morning

and first light in the garden

brings shadows of women moving

Turning

they did not recognise

in this Springtime Pasch,

the Nazarene

passing over into Galilee

Contained in the finger space

of the morning dawn

the Resurrected Christ

greets us.

Rabboni

we did not trust you

we did not understand.

we thought it was all over

no my people

it’s only just begun
