Tears

April 15, 2019 By Rev. Kirk Moore (he, him, his)

Sometimes I write poetry.  Here’s a poem I wrote about Mary weeping outside Jesus’ tomb.

Tears
Tears for death
Tears for death and fear
Tears death, fear, and confusion
Tears for death, fear, confusion, and anticipation
Tears for death, fear, confusion, anticipation, and surprise
Tears for death, fear, confusion, anticipation, surprise, and hope
Tears for death, fear, confusion, anticipation, surprise, hope, and happiness
Tears for death, fear, confusion, anticipation, surprise, hope, happiness, and resurrection.
