Merry Christmas! Poem by Sumita Jetley

In a town where snowflakes gently rest,
A meeting of hearts, East meets West.
Santa Claus, with his bag of toys,
Joins a Sufi, in spiritual poise.

Under the moon, their voices rise,
In dhikr hymns, under starry skies.
Gingerbread, almonds, hot cocoa in sips,
Words of wisdom from both their lips.

Tales of joy, of children's dreams,
Blend with Rumi's mystic themes.
Laughter rings, in festive tones,
In a dance where spirit roams.

Reindeer stories, magic nights,
Meet Sufi songs, in moonlit flights.
Friendship blooms, in this rare scene,
A blend of cultures, serene and keen.

So here's a tale of joy and light,
Of Santa and a Sufi's night.
A reminder that love's universal call,
Unites us one, unites us all.
