Women on their Way

While it was still dark,
in the early hours of the morning
these women walked
past the place of pain
of the previous day....
cold, cruel, callous Calvary
Crucifixion!
Crosses
overshadowed their small shadows....

Still suffering
they were required to revisit
memories of unbearable pain
as each nail ripped into the raw flesh
of their own hearts.
ruthless reminders lay strewn around
on the ground...
a dice in the dust.
dry blood-splattered splinters
the twisted, tormenting crown
shouted louder than any soldiers words!

‘Who will move away the stone?’
They carried the question
- Jesus had carried the cross.

Undeterred
they continued walking
into the answer to their question;
-the stone already rolled away
while they were
still asking the question
Jesus answered
way before they had even thought of the question...

May I follow in their footsteps of faith.
