Every evil spirit
calls out,
Pulling, teasing the
tenuous fear threads
into willing and unwilling
fertile minds,
multiplying the chaos
with distracting crowd noise
media, screens, speakers
hovering, thrusting, spiralling
connecting the bleak web
Deceit deforms the humane
collapsing hope
suffocating reason,
sometimes just silence
becomes the lies
and the future becomes
the past.

The sun turned dark
the moon dealt blood,
the earth heaved
in an earthquake storm,

and the lies
tried to be the silence
shutting the word of God
the Jesus truth,
closing life itself.

The sundial
spun three days
of fear chains
over a world
that didn't know it
was waiting.
Chokehold manacles
bruising hopes and dreams.

259,200 seconds
ticked towards eternity
Enough time for
despair, perceived reality,
to vulture circle
the disciples
questions spiralling,
rotting hopes
like the body.

And above, outside
and beyond time,
God spoke
in a power beyond
black holes,
Jesus rose
death died
tombstone rolled
time resumed
and Jesus
danced a million
unfolding stories
into human futures.

Starting Thoughts: Fears crowded in, the sun bled, earthquakes shattered and the Christ event that would change our futures occurred.
