Now comes another season
A phenomenon with its own reason
Birds changing their migratory routes
The snails scampering for their hideouts
The sky luminously- wearing sky-blue
A splendid departure from the watery blues
The lush green lillies morphing to yellow and brown
Hitherto moist earth now smithereens of dust -dark and brown
The gushing rivers – now tranquil, sedate and meandering
Fire outbreak makes its occurrence most threatening
Welcome to the dry season
The season is not all a dry season
The season is not all doom and gloom
It’s time for violet and Celsius trees to bloom
It is a marvellous time to harvest
Veritably a farmer’s delight
A time for stocktaking
A time for thanksgiving
A time for innumerable celebrations
Time of thanksgiving from tribulations
A time for the biggest of all celebrations
Celebration of our revered, cherished Christmas.
