The experience at the tomb of Christ.....

A Stone Too Heavy

Stephen W Emerick

 

Scent of fabric

Aged with time--

Smell of rose petals.

Body covered with lime.

 

 

 

Where once was heart

 

Heaving with hope--

Taking its leave,

With death elopes.

 

 

 

The crowning moment…

 

Walking outside!

Where did He go? Where did He hide?

Or did He just die? The Gospel… a lie?

 

 

 

 

A stone too heavy

 

For twelve to move--

The worlds suffering loneliness

With love, now exhumed!

 

 

 

 

For it is here in me He came to reside!

 

He took the stone that covered my heart.

He healed the wound

That has kept us apart.

 

 

 

 

Awakened heart!

 

Embraced! Sublime!

The Christ of history, the Christ of time…

I am His, and He is mine!
