I didn't

I didn’t stay up all night.

I didn’t get up at sunrise.
I didn’t break a fast.
I didn’t make pysanky.
I didn’t break them either.
I didn’t purchase any lilies.
I didn’t give up anything for Lent.
 
But when we gathered
and sang the songs
some small joy erupted.
 
I, too, would like to see
the empty tomb;
would like to find you
suddenly in our midst.
