Easter Vigil
+++++++++++++++++
Before
Before the beginning there was naught,
perhaps something impossible to comprehend,
no space nor time,
there was not even nothing
for that would imply the opposite,
something,
even speaking of the void
does not encompass what the before wasn’t
it just was not.
++++++++++++++++++
Then
The word spoken,
light,
pulsating outward,
universe expanding ever faster
its momentum
continuing into the far future;
time frame staggering in its fulfillment.
++++++++++++++++++
The Tomb
Within the body lying
wrapped in its linen shroud
there was only emptiness,
nothingness,
blackness,
cold,
no time nor space,
soulless,
like the universe will one day be,
all stillness,
void,
heat death its fate.

thanks. it's nice to know another who values the same things that i do. as my blog says, Easter Vigil is my very favorite Mass of the entire liturgical year. Even the kids are quiet during Mass on that special night. (although they do hate that it's an hour and a half long LOL). Happy Easter
