Observations
City lights sparkle
Orchard Road highlights;
Secular Christmas
~~~~~~~~~
Shoppers smile
Branded goods in tow;
Happiness galore
~~~~~~~~~
Crowded corridors
Congested malls flooded;
Black Friday postures
~~~~~~~~~
Time to attend
Mending broken hearts;
Gift of yourself
~~~~~~~~~
Buying agendas
Long To-Do List;
Indulgence shouts
~~~~~~~~~
Out in the crowd
Heart feels alone;
Things cannot fill
~~~~~~~~~
Christmas adds extra
Stress and strain flaunt;
Discrete permutations
~~~~~~~~~
Street corner vendors
Assorted wares tempt;
Come take me home
~~~~~~~~~
Bags in tow
Train ride home;
Fruitful spree
~~~~~~~~~
A familiar face
In the crowded mall;
Instant smiles tell
~~~~~~~~
Child bargaining
Parental objection;
Enough is enough
~~~~~~~~~
Listen love calls
Can you hear music;
Hymns from faraway
~~~~~~~~~
Equatorial Christmas mood
Sun, rain and humidity;
Take air-con cover
~~~~~~~~~
Now face to face
Heart to heart;
Priceless giving
~~~~~~~~~
