Haiku of
illumination
The mountain was
high,
according to
Matthew’s text.
Four friends made
the climb.
Mystery mountain
cloaked in energy
and light;
Jesus shining
bright.
Moses, man of law,
talking with the
carpenter
and comparing notes.
Prophet Elijah
enters the
conversation,
gives his two-bob’s
worth.
Jesus, fulfilment
of the law and the
prophets.
Illumination.
Further approval
in the voice and
shining cloud:
Listen to my Son!
Some who name him,
Lord,
forget his command
to love.
They will not
listen.
Surpassing the Law
and greater than the
prophets:
Jesus’ words of
love.
