Merry nightsA Poem by Chin-hooi NgAbout Xmas and New Year celebrationThe road has been in a hurry the wind and crystal permeate the journey shepherds on the outskirts of the white cold convey the gospel of angels stillness of the wilderness innocence of the little girl benevolence of Santa Claus songs and hymn light up the night of holy goodness good news suffuse like dainties on plates like Brandy intoxicating the house out on the balcony you may encounter the moon the glitter of neon the revelry across the street the heart to heart wrapped in ribbons as you would understand the bell sounding about forgiving the past blessing the future no one sleeps they share joy and laughter and embrace gracious wishes the world warm peaceful and pure the fireplace roars stockings bulge like pillows while angels in the dream smile.
