Days of Darkness

 

Eschatological haiku


The days of darkness

are coming upon us all;

the sun will be hid.


The moon will not shine,

and the ever faithful stars

will absent themselves.


We might all be lost,

unable to navigate,

or to find the way.


Will he be coming,

the sky-sweeping Son of Man,

to bring us all home​?


Read the signs, he told

his friends. The fig tree’s lessons

are long forgotten.


The generation

did, in fact, pass away; He

must have got it wrong.


My words will remain

when all else is gone, he said.

Ah, Lord, but which ones?


When not expected

the Master will return. Be

about his business.
