Once you were darkness

Haiku responding to Eph 5:8-14


Once you were darkness,

now, in the Lord, you are light.

Live as Light's children.


For the fruits of Light

are all around; in those things

good and right and true.


Live to discover

that which is full of love, and

pleasing to the Lord.


Shun works of darkness;

they are not fruitful; rather,

bring them to the light.


Expose them to light!

Illuminate shameful works

that they be transformed.


Wake up you sleepers!

When you rise up from the dead

Christ will shine on you.
