Resurrection Eyes

.
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,
What did Jesus see
  when he first looked out
    his borrowed grave's orifice?

A still vast dark sky when
  the sun, just below the horizon,
   begins to usher in the morning light,
    transitioning from black to deep dark blue
     to pale blue with ribbons of orange and yellow,
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 for us the special twilight,
So we could walk this new day
   with your holy resurrection eyes.
