Watermark

The Eternal Moment

In the Upper Room

Which followed

The Crucifixion

That Excruciating Pause

Before Faith

Becomes Sight

Unbearable Stillness and Confinement

The Suspended Animation

Of All Space and Time

Bated Breath of a Thousand Years

Hope held in abeyance

Under the Crushing Weight

Of The Wait --

-- And just on the other side

Of this sliver between seconds

The thinnest veil obscuring their View

The Tide Is Returning

Bearing Down Mighty on their Good Friday Shore

Their dashed dreams

Their Broken Bewildered Hearts

Rushing in

to Watermark them

in 

Unimaginable

Resurrection

"It will be said in that day, 'Behold our God upon Whom we have waited and hoped;

We will be exceedingly glad in His Salvation."

-Isaiah 25:9
