“You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.” –Isaiah 55:12
Everyone lives in a little town
obscure village, speck in space
lost in universe we are but dust
Creator sees, our father knows
us too intimately, enters a virgin
(god in a womb) angels sing glory!
He came and is coming still to
every little town, knocks at door
will you let great JOY move… inn?

Light a candle on this 3rd Sunday of Advent
We watch with eyes wide open.
What does a shepherd know of Joy?
Exiles follow Lord
Until kingdom restored
All: So Christ is our Advent of JOY!

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”
(Mahatma Ghandi)
let us love, brothers
find our unity with joy
harmony in Christ
repent, believe, become real
let soul revival begin…
Connecting with Carpe Diem Haiku Kai’s prompt today…many directions you could go with the theme of happiness!

winter’s secret joy
expecting new grandchildren
love’s art develops
every snowflake is unique
each design original
Linking with other haiku poets at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai today.

Linking to Carpe Diem’s time glass challenge
leaves let go of fear
fall free, float on air, swirl down
celebrate changes.

letting go self-consciousness,
we can twirl life’s dance with joy!
