HOLY SATURDAY
Joseph said,
“Here—I have a tomb, new, unused. HE may lie within.”
Pilate said,
“Take HIM—I care not where this troublesome man lies.”
The Women said,
“We weep, we mourn, but gather the oils—we will bind HIS wounds.”
The Rain said,
“Our tears will wash HIS face.”
The Earth said,
“We welcome HIS bones, formed from our dust before time began.”
The Fire of Hades said,
“We fear HIS coming—HE will steal our bounty.”
The Wind said,
“HE breathes no more, and even I am silenced.”
The stars said,
“HIS light is hidden, so we must shine bravely through darkest night.”
They all said,
“In silence, We will keep watch.”
