five haiku for advent

Saturday morning.
He whose death will birth new life
is borning. Come, Lord.

•

Zechariah is
mute no more. John loves honey
and chases locusts.

•

Elizabeth, filled
with Holy Spirit, blesses
cousin and nephew.

•

Steady Joseph helps
pregnant Mary settle down.
No room at the inn.

•

And so we wait. Still
while the world shops around us.
We wait... for the Gift.
