The Resurrection

I am like Mary
weeping at
the foot of your cross

and I am like Mary
rejoicing

at the sound of your
voice

that calls me by name:

“Daughter, I have risen!”
“Daughter, I am alive today!”

I know this is joy,
the kind I have been
searching on my knees

my whole life to find:

“You have risen!”
“You are alive!”

So I rise up from weeping,
the treasure is here —

in your grace
I stand.

xx, Hannah
