The people jeered

The people mocked

The people scorned

And then...

The man hung from the cross

His arms outstretched, nailed

The thorn crown pierced his brow

And then...

The dust swirled

The wind moaned

The earth cried out

And then...

The man spoke

His last words

The life left

And then...

The evil cackled

The evil danced

The evil rejoiced

But then...

Hope crept in slowly

As a vine climbs a column

Good could not be denied

And then...

A man walked a garden path

He was going to find his friends

The tomb could not hold its prisoner
