How did the disciples feel on the Saturday?

We know the end (or is it the beginning) of the story and what happens on Easter Sunday. But, the disciples did not.
Jesus was dead.
The Messiah in the tomb.
The King slain by the Romans.

How did they wake that morning?
‘If only?’
‘Why?’
‘Was he wrong?’
‘Was I wrong?’

A day of emptiness
exhaustion
disbelief
disillusionment

a dark dark day
staring into nothingness
wishing
thinking
willing
‘If only …’

And was the world without God
while he was in hell?
was creation on timer
until his return?
was heaven in silence
with no one to praise?
did the angels watch in fear
fading hope for his return?

Saturday
Jesus entombed in darkness
disciples bound in their gloom
humanity unconscious in the shadows
creation screaming out from the night

what have you done to my Lord?
