Daily Signet

The shell of what once housed the spirit of
the rabboni, the rabbi, the Jewish teacher.
On the third day after Jesus’ crucifixion,
Mary Magdalene, among others, 
came to the tomb to pay homage to what had been;
only to find a broken seal, a rolled away stone,
an empty tomb.
The signet impressioned on the spirit
was greater than the signet
impressioned on the tomb.
