Mary At The Grave (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

Where she cried heart rendering, she stood at the grave,
for a moment lingered dumbfounded and did notice that it was empty,
could not comprehend this, did not trust the peace,
as in her heart there now was only love for Him,
she could not understand the crucifixion and still less the empty grave,
did notice a man in the garden through her tears,
did not know what these things did hold for humanity
and the events of the crucifixion went through her mind,
where she stumbled, walked further and suddenly she did recognize Him
and a blissful smile replaced the anguish on her pretty face,
with her love se wanted to go to Him with her confession,
she wanted to rush to Him with her arms opened wide
but He blinded her there with a holy pure sinless kind of light,
where she realised that His love is totally selfless and for all human beings.
