December Haiku Path

Lost and found Santa Claus; Stuck in chimney ~~~~~~~~~ Holiday moods Shopping sprees; Love feels unloved ~~~~~~~~~ Nice gift wraps Costly purchases; Absent heart ~~~~~~~~~ Booze and buzz Too much fuss; Christmassy detours ~~~~~~~~~ King of Love Waits outside knocking; Unnoticed alone ~~~~~~~~~ Who are you? Yeshua or Christ: Excuse for Christmas ~~~~~~~~~ Choirs sing People entertained; Ritual celebration ~~~~~~~~~ Town decked Christmas moods jingle; Fake snowy winter ~~~~~~~~~ Equatorial Xmas Too much commotion; Buying and selling ~~~~~~~~~ O Great Spirit: We call upon You; Bring Christmas back ~~~~~~~~~ May your days Be merry and bright; Start with true heart ~~~~~~~~~ Let us pray: For world peace, Piece by piece ~~~~~~~~~ Let peace begin Right from each heart; Let hatred end ~~~~~~~~~ Peace on earth Goodwill to men; Christ's Love now heals ~~~~~~~~~ Thank You dear God For all things good; Love understood ~~~~~~~~~ Year-end blessings To one and all; Death to all hatred ~~~~~~~~~ My Christmas wish To my fellow men: Peace and Love and Joy ~~~~~~~~~ And when I pray Let my heart find soul; Dwell only on love ~~~~~~~~~ Dear Father of all: Help us to know You Through loving-kindness ~~~~~~~~~ Gratitude speaks Love embraces; It is as it should be ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 03 December 2015 Singapore
