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

~~~~~~~~~
