Hope
Haiku of encouragement
Revelation’s book:
words to bring hope, encourage,
when all presses in.
The Lord returns soon
to reward and to repay
those who act with faith.
Alpha, Omega,
the first and the last; Jesus
bringing fulfilment.
Wedding images,
speaking of consummation
and invitation.
If you are thirsty
receive the water of life.
Come! It is God’s gift.
He did not come soon.
There must be deeper meaning
in these words of hope.
Come Lord! is their cry.
But is he still to come, or
already with us?
