Lazarus

The man whom Jesus loves
The one whom I love

Is not well

And Jesus takes his time

Mother, Father
Sister, Brother
Child and friend

is walled up

In the tomb
Of death

I am
Walled up

Inside myself

Something in me has died

There is decay within

Then Jesus wept

And loved

And prayed

And called.

He did that

A long time ago

And he’s doing it

Now

Come out

He shouts

Unbind them
And let them go
Free
