Bereft souls

spilleronsheet

Festivals around 

the season turning at its peak now

frozen are my feet

numb the fingers

wonder what I write around

 

the season of gifts

the weather of surprises

the friends gonna meet 

though the pandemic 

made us distance apart

but the sticky fingers glued

as the screens connected the distanced souls

 

packing the gifts

turning a santa

a child who waited with stockings

never knows would wait for Santa 

or should turn a santa

 

with season freezing at peak

the roads swept

with those who laid

under the bare sky

 

wonder will warm milk 

bring warmness to the distraught souls

 

 

Maybe festivals are at peak

for some seasons don’t turn around

new year approaching soon 

yet for some its just adding a candle to life 

 

what season

what festival 

calls the heart inside 

bereft some souls dry

            On way to church
            Pray for me
            Why am I always asking this
            I guess I think Almighty shall hear you sooner than me

                Thanks dear Lorna
                It just struck me
                And at mps I realised we don’t need to hide our emotions
                Cause we have lovely poets and readers here

              • Paul Bell

                Probably in our human existence, the last two years have been the worse, and going into next year doesn't look to be any better. Maybe a time to rejoice, which may sound strange, but as humans, that what we do.

                  Things aren’t good
                  Things may not be good
                  But since the now is a gift so it’s called present
                  Then we shall live it as it’s best
                  Who knows what tomorrow stores for us

                • Garth Rakumakoe

                  Not all gifts come wrapped in a box. Some are just words that speak to hearts. This piece is one such.

                    And your comment made this poetry so special
                    It is one of the kindest and the most beautiful appreciation
                    It won’t be wrong to say that I feel elated now
                    Thanks a lot dear reader
