Hope

Everything's gone
But still they wait
Not knowing nor wanting
yet they wait.

And then it comes
Unseemingly vague
Trotting unhurriedly
It brings no joy
But a thought lights up
It's come.

When we don't look
It builds a home around us
And brings the rest with it.

Gradually we we move towards it
To welcome a stranger
And find ourselves there.

Resurrection

He saw me come
And wondered why...
He always saw me go.

He saw me sail
And wondered why...
He always saw me rowing.

He saw me walk
And dumbfounded
He looked if I had grown a knee.

He saw me stop
And held his breath
The end he feared had come.

Before his eyes
He watched me die
He turned
I rose again.
