Marengo, Illinois – a Haiku poem

I wrote this Haiku poem after a mystical experience whilst driving my car.

 


 

Driving through the town

Singing songs of praise to God

Tired from the day

 

Then He surprised me

Suddenly without warning

A caress from God

 

‘Twas thick as honey

and like electricity

Tingled everywhere

 

Sparkling within

My burdens all slipped away

I felt love and joy

 

A barbecue fire

He put right inside my heart

Its coals kept glowing

 

He’s blessed me this way

Many times in the years past

Blessings that don’t stop

 

I planned to forget

Put it right out of my thoughts

Like the mystics say

 

This time was diff’rent

He seemed to say “Tell others”

“Write some Haiku”
