Easter Sunday - Mary - from John 20:1-18

Mary...

Entirely possessed –
bedevilled.
Your steps much lighter
since he met you
where you were.
You turned your face
toward the Son
and flourished.

Possessed now by grief –
a withering.
Your steps, are heavy
as you go to
where he is.
He turned his face
toward Jerusalem
and perished.

Self-possessed –
blossoming.
He blooms with life
in all its fullness
as he meets you
where you are.
You turn again
toward the Son...
astonished.
            c.Nik Mac 2022
