The day is coming!

Haiku for partying


Prophet Isaiah

paints his partying canvas

in bright, dancing hues.


Come to God’s mountain,

gather with your host, the Lord

of welcome and love.


A feasting from God,

an invitation for all,

no matter your tribe.


Rich food, premium

wines, plenty for ev’ryone,

marking sorrow’s end.


Death will no longer

be held in dread, God will wipe

tears from all faces.


Where God’s people failed,

where disgrace casts its shadow,

God will make things right.


This day is coming!

We have waited long; rejoice

in God’s salvation.
