Empty

empty

too much empty these days
shrunken paychecks and retirement accounts
jobs evaporated
store closing signs
offices for lease
neighborhood blocks with flecked with for sale signs
foreclosed houses with shaggy lawns and broken gutters

it leaves your soul feeling black and empty and fearful

but the only hope is in emptiness
an empty tomb carved out of impossible stone
reminds that by removing self power and plans
emptying hearts of all but trust
opens life again to
Easter power

Have a blessed Easter!
