Steve Turner - Poem for Easter

Tell me:
What came first
Easter or the egg?
Crucifixion
         or daffodils?
Three days in a tomb
         or four days
in Paris?
         (returning
Bank Holiday Monday).

When is a door
not a door?
When it is rolled away.
When is a body
not a body?
When it is a risen.

Question.
Why was it the Saviour rode on the cross?
Answer.
To get us
to the other side.

Behold I stand.
Behold I stand and what?
Behold I stand at the door and

knock knock.

Steve Turner
