The Day after the Passion
Empty benches, playground and covered walk.
They too, keep vigil for the greatest spectacle,
after the darkest hour of the whole Christendom.
The prelude of resurrection, the greatest miracle.
Trees like the acacia - amidst all of creation,
are a witness to this universal faith of oneness
of the world in harmony, unity and peace,
with all living things rejoicing in goodness.
Goodness in the shade of trees and in leaves
falling one by one in glorious cadence,
in feet silently leading back home and work,
with a contrite heart of calm and reverence.~
