could've been another Magdalene
not exactly maybe of the way she'd been
but no less the time of waiting
from darkness to light
a new dawn of morning hope
for those who've been lost
lost away from Jerusalem
like those towards Emmaus
yet finding along the way
the Risen One
when their hearts were set on fire
blazing with the joy of everlasting life
the roads here on earth
many and so strange are they
bring about tastes, sounds and sights
alluring maybe tempting
confusing yet not fulfilling
drinks satiate not the thirst
the hunger of this broken flesh
the only words that we long to hear
that He is right here at last
alive to reign forever for and with us
