Uno

Emerging from the lap of sunrise,
Uno breathes the fragrance of Mother Earth,
Gazing at the dewdrops on leaves,
Sparkling pearls on the bed of grass,
He slides his feet feeling the smooth softness,
Healing  are the bruises,
Incurred while walking down the rocky pathway of Uranus.
A few steps ahead; the gleaming red rose is ecstatic,
The white pigeon arrives holding a mistletoe,
Rabbits arrive bells in hand,
Cinderella with her tresses wild,
Waving the magic wand bejeweled with stars,
Relive that auspicious moment, 
When little Jesus came alive,
Emancipating humanity with warmth of love.

Uno is mesmerized in wonder,
Sudden shower of snow,
Interspersed with trees laden with bells, balls and stars,
His elephant ears listen to the strums of Jingle Bells,
His bewilderment knew no bounds,
When sledge of Santa whisked him afar into villages,
Celebrating booties of joy,
Walking down the aisle, he is astonished,
A man on a cross bearing pain with a smile,
Carol of the bells ushering happiness to mitigate the sadness,
Enfolding all in its secure nest,

Uno feels a thirst so unlike,
Santa gives the nectar of life,
 Water; pure and sacred,
Quenching his thirst,
He marches ahead,
Into an everlasting peace,
In the giggling moonshine of Christmas Village.

Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year- 2019
