A Naked Death

by John van de Laar

© 2006 Sacredise

Yours was a naked death, Jesus:

     Not for you the fine linen of a rich bed

          surrounded by wealth accumulated over a comfortable lifetime.

     Not for you a well prepared service of farewell

          with time for proper grieving and departures.

     Not for you a carefully chosen shroud,

          or a tenderly nurtured grave.

When you kept your rendezvous with death

     All was stripped away except your determined love

          and the life that lay dormant for a moment

               waiting for the morning

When your naked glory would break free again.

Amen.
