Hay-Ku of the Day (Merry Christmas)

Hay-Ku of the Day (Merry Christmas to All)

The Christmas Story

Foreshadows the Birth of Christ 

Within Your Own Heart.


A "Quantum Leap" from

A "God Apart" to "Christ in 

You" was Born this Day.


God's own "Absolute

Potential to Be" revealed

With the "Birth of Christ."


(1) Angelus Silesius-wise:


"Though Christ a thousand times

In Bethlehem be born,

If He’s not born in thee

Thy soul is still forlorn.

The Cross on Golgotha,

Will never save thy soul;

The Cross in thine own heart,

Alone can make thee whole.

 

"O, Cross of Christ, I take thee

Into this heart of mine,

That I to my own self may die

And rise to thy life Divine..."


(2) 2009 Christmas Haiku-Wise:


The Birth of Jesus

Took us from a "God Without"

to a "God Within."


The "Birth of Christ" took

Mankind from a "God Out There" 

To a "God In Here."


(3) "One Moment" Poem-Wise:


"Flesh and Spirit, 

Body and Soul, 

One Moment Part, 

The Next Moment Whole; 

Mary and Joseph, 

Manger and Stall, 

One Moment Nothing, 

the Next Moment All."
