Jesus Christ Calls The Shinto - Kirisuto - A Haiku & Poem Poem by Daniel Partlow

My friends in Japan
Seeking Truth, Love, and Wisdom
Heed Kirisuto! ...

Rising Son the only true Kami
Rising Sun breaks through clouds of cleansing ame
Risen Jesus-san truth revelation sami

Hirohito Showa’s defeat
Ningen-Sengen repeal’s the dark veil deceit
Kirisuto on cross doth death delete

Discover-Disukaba Truth-Makoto
Pure white reisu of life Christ-Hitonoko
Awaken to the Holy Spirit koingokoro

Bright faith brings Ho-pu, Shinkyou
Christ calls his Shinto Shinpu
His truth as true food Toyuke - Koumyou

Heart of truth - Makoto no kokoro
Jesus guide our steps from today unto tomorrow
And frees us from the bond of sorrow
