Salt and light

A haiku sequence

You are salt and light.

Salt to enhance life's flavours.

Light to dispel fear.

Be salt to your friends

and salt to those who struggle.

Affirm their living.

Darkness encroaches,

threatens what is good and true.

Rage against the night.

Shine incandescent:

glowing is your heritage.

You are light, shine on.

Shine on with your love,

bring hope to the ones who weep,

illuminate them.

Go out of your way

to bring light to dark places.

They're waiting for you.

Be salt and be light.

This is your divine calling

as children of God.
