The D-Day and Two Other Poems

The D-Day

The last car

The final whisper

 

The heavy heart

The light-hearted laughter

 

A coffee shop

Some men and women…

 

Known and unknown…

The heart heaving

 

Pulsating mind! Giving

Way to…

 

Unknown fear

Unknown agony

Unknown joy

 

Time yet to rescue

Me from the labyrinth

Of turmoil – worldly,

Holy and unholy.

 

The D-Day?

You may or may not ask!

Call of the Night!

The sun in the east

Is red, crimson

 

The birds have taken

To their wings, a free fly

 

Down the horizon.

A voice emerges.

 

A promise meant to

Be broken

 

A heart’s cry

A wish

A desire

 

The breeze is blowing

To the west

 

AND…

 

We are waiting for

The night to arrive!

Untimely Christmas

Christmas in August.

Jesus is born

An untimely birth

Four months in advance

 

Time takes wings

Memories fly by

A chariot arrives,

Slows down and

Then disappears

 

Jesus and unborn

Fetuses make merry

Mother Mary in company.

 

They cry and laugh.

 

Miracles happen only

In the dead of the night!
