You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified.
(Mk 16:6)

Reflections

She touches his arm,
Bewildered.
To remain or flee?

In the stillness
Dreams are dashed.
Waves of memories wash over her.

Caress your face?
Tears bathe the body.
Oh, to be gazed upon once more.

Stay now.
Labor in the quiet.
Fully awake,
Completely aware
Of each movement,
Of every moment.
Waiting upon this glimmer of hope.
