They walked in darkness

 Haiku for illumination


They walked in darkness,

languishing, all hope was lost;

but light is coming.


We were blanketed

in deep darkness, but on us

God’s light is dawning.


We can now rejoice,

like when the harvest is good,

or sharing the loot!


Our heavy burdens

are lifted; our subjection

has come to an end.


Our blood-stained garments,

our oppressors’ boots, become

fuel for the fire.


A child has been born

for us, he shall reign for God

as our Prince of Peace.


Endless peace is ours;

the Lord of hosts will do this,

ruling with justice.
