Do I expect
resurrection?
Good question.
As palpably
as St. Paul?
Probably not.
Merely metaphorical?
Well, yes,
but not merely.
And not oblivion
either, nor
one Last Judgment.
Do I expect
resurrection?
I cannot imagine -
can't manage
the details,
all the ifs and ands -
it's unimaginable.
After all,
that's the point,
isn't it? The miracle
lies beyond
the finite mind,
beyond the here
and now,
beyond examination.
Do I expect
the Unexpected?
Oh, yes.
Can I imagine
the unimaginable.
Well, no.
Can I believe
the unbelievable?
I cannot but.
He arose,
He arose,
hallelujah,
Christ arose.
