Tinsel, baubles
& Christmas lights on the tree?
No- pretty birds
& buds of the chincherinchee,
Searching for
Santa´s sleigh in skies up above?
No- only
simplicity & for all of nature, love.
Cracker´s snaps,
hearty cheers & carols duly sung?
No- bush fire´s
crackle & diamonded stars low slung,
Over-feasting of
food, fit for Princes, Knights & Kings?
No- nectar quaffed
from the backs of butterfly’s wings.
Scented candles,
pretty table, bows & hot mulled wine?
No- shining moon
& just sipping dew, cold & icily divine,
The ox, the ass,
the crib & babe lying in dim lit stable?
No- the elephant,
lion, hyena & the long horned sable.
Celebrating the holy
birth & coming of the Son of God?
Yes- and in Africa,
all of new life born, of earth & sod,
Voices raised, above
glasses clinking & snow that glisters?
No- only cicada´s songs
& soft clicking of Bushmen´s whispers.
