A haiku sequence
You are salt and
light.
Salt to enhance
life's flavours.
Light to dispel
fear.
Be salt to your
friends
and salt to those
who struggle.
Affirm their living.
Darkness encroaches,
threatens what is
good and true.
Rage against the
night.
Shine incandescent:
glowing is your
heritage.
You are light, shine
on.
Shine on with your
love,
bring hope to the
ones who weep,
illuminate them.
Go out of your way
to bring light to
dark places.
They're waiting for
you.
Be salt and be
light.
This is your divine
calling
as children of God.
