Elevated

Haiku for those who grope in darkness

In the wilderness

Moses lifted the bronze snake.

The people were healed.

So, too, will Jesus,

the Son of Man sent from God

be elevated.

Of the Father’s love

Jesus is sent, precious gift

bringing us true life.

He came, grace-laden,

embodying forgiveness.

No one is condemned.

There are those who hide,

preferring darkness to light;

judgement awaits them.

Blankets of darkness

drape heavy to hide evil.

Light is cast aside.

It’s all about light,

truth, hope, love; made incarnate.

Light shines, defiant.

Their deeds are in God,

those who seek to serve the truth.

Come, embrace the Light.
