Haiku of the promised one
From the ancient line
of Jesse and David comes
one we have hoped for.
The Spirit of God,
of wisdom, understanding
shall rest upon him.
The Spirit of might,
counsel and fear of the Lord
shall rest upon him.
Righteousness guides him
when he delivers judgement
for the poor, the meek.
Such great metaphors:
wolf and lamb; leopard and kid
living peacefully.
Defenceless children
playing safely among snakes:
this image of peace.
The knowledge of God
will fill the earth. He shall be
a sign for us all.
