The Twelfth Month

Close to the track's end, Jumping over the last hurdle, Hope stands beside us to stitch and mend, Thoughts of unfulfilled desires saddle. Walking through the end's door, A few miles to go across the border, A tick, a tock and more, Each dawn chauffeurs us further. Christmas is here, A time to give and share, Celebrating the birth of God’s son, loving and dear, Sombre moods are dispersed by moments of cheer. Cities and homes wear a colourful look, There’s a global declaration of love, Rancour is erased from the offender’s book, Joy lights on us live a dove. December 3, 2022.
