Christmas
The sky beams, birds sing,
Butterflies and grass dance in
The heavenly grace.
The dark clouds are gone.
The trees now undressed can bathe
In warmth of the sun.
Bees flit between buds,
Kissing the tender lips of
Petals for nectar.
Fragrance and aromas
Waft through the harmattan haze.
It’s the season’s meet:
Where herons inspect
The hide of grazing cattle
In the fields for fleas;
Kids with bright eyes check
Every pack dad and mum bring back
For shiny new stuff.
Grace meets greed; love lust:
Like the dry season’s brightness,
God’s love shines on us.
(The verse is taken from my collection, 'Colours {of Life, Love and Faith}'.)
