Fizzing - Lent #14

a reflection on John 11: the death and resurrection of Lazarus

(c) Julie Woods 2009

She was fizzing

Hopping mad

Distraught

She’d sent word

Asked him to come

Wished

Wanted

Needed

Felt her heart break in two

She’d wept buckets

But now

Now...

Now she was fizzing

And as soon as she saw him come

Her heart didn’t leap for joy as it had so many times before

Her heart couldn’t leap – it was too broken

So she lashed him with her tongue

Blamed him

Her anger was boundless

And he just stood there

Wept with her

Take me to him

Show me...

Believe
