Mary Magdalene stood at the tomb.
She
had been visited by ghosts in the night
and
longed to be free of their voices.
She
brought no flowers for the dead.
Her
world was gray, buried beneath a shroud.
The
earth began to shake and a flash of light
descended.
A dazzling figure appeared,
clothed
in a garment of white.
The
angel moved a boulder.
The
guards fell to the ground. The cave was open.
The
angel spoke: ‘Jesus is risen.’
Mary
trembled, her heart shook.
As
she hurried away from the tomb, Jesus appeared.
Mary
embraced him.
Jesus
said: ‘Go and carry the news.’
