The Dawning of the day.

No hint of lightening sky as Mary walked alone towards the place where they had buried him,
but fear and vague anticiparion filled her mind of what would be revealed when journey reached its end.
But that scene had changed,
the stone was moved away
and Jesus lay no longer in the tomb.
So she glanced around, not knowing what to do
and saw a man unrecognisable.
"Where have you taken him? Tell me now I pray."
She pleaded as warm tears rolled down her face.
With just one word
he brushed all doubt aside
and recognition dawned with the whisper of her name.
Then the sun burst through,
its rays alighting on his face
and resurrection life rejoiced
to see the dawning of the day.
