She passed out
in a graveyard
during sunrise services.
Panic overcame friends
who tried to prop her
into instant resurrection.
First-aid people struggled
to keep her prone
for a healing time.
It's only natural
to want instant revival
in the midst of tombs.
But healings
from life's many deaths
have their own tomb times.
We must not be too quick
about propping up
those who seem to die.
There are times
to lie low for a while
in the dark tomb.
Then—by God—
there are times to rise up
and be alive again
