Easter Morning Sonnet

As the morning sun peered over earth’s crest,
Three women traveled to Jesus’s tomb.
With ointments, they would have his body blessed,
But the spot was empty with spring in bloom.

With the stone rolled away, they entered in
And did not find the body of their Lord.
As their puzzlement started to begin, 
Two men in dazzling white garments moved toward.

"Why do you seek the living with the dead?
Recall his words about his destiny,
As a captive, for sinners he’d be bled,
And in three days, defeat death’s legacy."

From sin we are no longer imprisoned!
Al-le, Alleluia He is risen!
