Again the question

Haiku for reading the signs

Apocalyptic

imagery to puzzle

and to disconcert.

In those days, he said,

even the skies will rebel:

the sun, moon and stars.

The end times have come,

not because heaven says so;

the planet is lost.

Look at the fig tree,

or at the barrier reef;

the extreme weather.

We ask the questions:

Where is God in all of this;

what are we to do?

When the master comes

the servants are expected

to have done their jobs.

Keep alert! Wake up!

The hour, the day is coming;

perhaps it is here.

Again the question:

What does he expect of you,

who carry his name?
