After midnight

by royowen

Cusp of storm brewing
world war pinned on a timeline
light strikes thunder.

Tree branches beneath
witnessing without seeing
underground water.

Centre of the earth
looking for a deity
other side of midnight.

Susan Errington.




This is another one of my class Susan Errington,
a seasoned novelist but not formerly published.
A suite of haiku,

Thanks for reading.
Zechariah 9:1-8
The word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrak, and will come to rest on Damascus—
for the eyes of all people and all the tribes of Israel are on the Lord
and on Hamath too, which borders on it and on Tyre and Sidon, though they are very
Tyre has built herself a stronghold; she has heaped up silver like dust,
and gold like the dirt of the streets But the Lord will take away her possessions
and destroy her power on the sea, and she will be consumed by fire.
Askelon will see it and fear; Gaza will writhe in agony,
and Ekron too, for her hope will wither. Gaza will lose her kin and Ashkelon will be deserted. A mongrel people will occupy Ashdod, and I will put an end to the pride of the Philistines. I will take the blood from their mouths, the forbidden food from between their teeth.Those who are left will belong to our God and become a clan in Judah,
and Ekron will be like the Jebusites. NIV
