From Darkness to Light

Haiku of promise


From darkness to light;

a metaphor unequalled.

One for the ages.


The darkness of fear,

uncertainty, the wondrous

light of love and hope


Oppression will end,

the burdensome bar and yoke

will be taken away.


The warriors boots

and garments covered in blood

shall be burned in fire.


A child has been born,

a son, authority rests

upon his shoulders


He has many names:

Wonderful Counsellor, Prince

of Peace, Mighty God.


With justice and truth

he'll establish David's throne.

There'll be endless peace.
