The tomb the living did enclose.
Christ my hope has risen.
Death is close.
Opened the gates of  death’s prison.

As usual I woke in the middle of the night.
Ready for the usual churning anxiety. Then miracle,  I I I I I had this sense of trust and light.
My fears taken over by more than piety .

I knew before I need only rest my fears in God.
And here half dreaming was the reality.
Here was the lightening rod.
And it for a few fleeting moments ended anxiety.

For one moment , all doubts ended.
Disbelief suspended.

….

We wake in the night
For one moment we believe
And then it is gone
