The morning after

 Holy Saturday

Let my prayer enter into your presence;
incline your ear to my lamentation.
Psalm 88:2


the morning after comes
heavy
with the weight of death
the reality of grief
and shards of broken hope

the morning after
all has collapsed
into emptiness
to be filled
with lamentation

but not yet
now there is only silence
as time stops
and creation holds it breath
