holy saturday 2016

But they rested on the Sabbath
in obedience to the commandment.
~Luke 23:56


it is not yet time
to go to the tomb
this is the in between time

grief has given way
to rest for now
and all we can do
is wait
and hope

death is the day gone by
but life is still yet to arrive
no angels
no visitations
no resurrection
no, not yet
it will come soon enough
but not today

today is holy saturday
today all we can do
is wait
and rest
and hope
