NPM: Poem 5

In celebration of National Poetry Month, I will attempt to write a poem a day.  Fun!

Then They Remembered

A few women,
Scurrying to arrive.
In time?

An opened-entry tomb.
Scurrying to arrive.
No time.

Alarmed they are.
Angels they see.
What?  Out of time?

How could they have forgotten?
One day spent accepting.
The next spent grieving.
How could they have forgotten?

Handed to sinners.
Crucified.
Risen.
Then they remembered.

He's alive!
No need for expensive spices.
No need for visitors this day.
No need to keep quiet.

He's alive!
They had remembered.
He's alive!
Spread the Good News.
Quell back disbelief.
Spread the Good News.
Tell to one and all.
He's alive!

This day we remember.
May we always remember.
Yes, He's alive!
