What Jesus Saw

.
Besides the temple guard,
   startled by the shaking and
      sudden light shining through
         the sealed tomb stone's door
            when from the entrance rolled
               away,
Running back to the arms
   of a world they so believed
      would save them from harm.

And the still dark skies when
   the sun, just below the horizon,
      begins to usher in morning light,
         from black to deep, blueish black,
            to pale blue and ribbons of orange,
The gift of a new day,
   filled with a new light.

Thank you, Jesus, for more than
   sharing what you saw that morning,
      but for making us that special twilight,
So we too could have your
   resurrection eyes.
 

Matthew 27:62-65, 28:11-12
