caprice

for humankind
easter is
caprice
unaccountable
ever changing
our certainties
making time
sudden
and yet
recognisable as
the sentenced
and
condemned
the crucified
and buried
the challenger
and disruptor
bringing
healing and
division that
lead to
life and
unity triumph
over the
vocabulary
of passing
power and
ever nagging
fear the
empty tomb
scours us
all out
into true
freedom
and
friendship
the stone is
moved by
spirit
pure caprice
