The Shining

THREE of them,
Profiled against the bruised sky.
Deformed, misused trees
Burdened with a trilogy of lives
Hanging like broken, discarded dolls.
And the load was lightening
Moment by moment. 

......Soon there would be nothing left
But the blood stains,
The clinging central memories,
And the rough-hewn symbol
Of an empty cross. 

......For three days despair dripped down
From the rain bleeding skies
And soaked into the perplexed hearts
Of eleven aching men and others. 

......Then the Word shone brilliantly
Burning away the mists
As the warm reality of His promise
Began to soothe their troubled hearts. 

......The tomb was empty.
Memories became again an encounter
With reality as He came among them. 

......Three of them
On the road to Emmaus
Profiled against the diminishing horizon.
Two with hearts aflame in anticipation,
And One, resurrected, that caused these
Blind to surely see, and the eleven
To multiply the truth
Of Christ in us,
Alive!
