flickers of silver lights
traversed the skies
roaring like thunder's
glaring despise....
whistling bombs
take its toll
deafening the
ears of every soul
It's christmas...
the christians celebrate
the time to ponder
on the saviour's birthdate
in the manger that once
a holy child laid
missioned to save
the earthling's misdeed
Verse seems to convey varied celebrations - some silent, some reverberating; I join the celebration and singing of hymns on the Saviour for an ever-lasting peace & happiness. Well done. thanks.
I like the double meaning created by the metaphors in lines 1- 3 and line 5. 1. Could this mean that it is paradoxical that what the saviour came to erase (misdeeds) is instead taking place on the very annivesary of his birthdate (bombs - suggestive of brutal human destruction) ? 2.Could this also mean the grandeur way in which Christians decide to remind themselves of the wonderful Saviour who decided to give His precious life to set free the apparently sinful and insignficant man so that (he) man may not perish but have eternal life? Whatever the meaning, Ariel Escalona has done wonderful penwork in amalgamating ideas with words to produce this grandeur piece.
Nicely put, i probably could not have put it better myself, donch know? A tenner fer sure(as they say, down in the valley in California.) God bless all poets and readers alike-MJG.
