#YearEndEchoes

Ding, Dong,
Ding, Dong.

Ding, Dong,
Ding, Dong.

I can hear it,
I can also feel it,
Festive echoes to bring the year to an end,
Santa Claus and his reindeers are here once again.

I feel the echoes from the book I scribble on,
Alongside the pen I scribble with,
As I write of Christmas tales.

I feel the echoes in the markets I go,
Prices increasing,
To signify the Christmas season.

I hear the echoes in the church,
Christmas carols are being rehearsed,
On the 25th, no one wants to be left behind.

I feel the echoes on the roads,
Buildings are being decorated,
Christmas lights are one with street lights.

I feel the echoes from the billboards,
Advertisement has taken a Christmas twist,
To draw customers very quick.

I hear the echoes from my phone,
Notifications from different apps,
Emphasize on the festive season.

I hear the echoes in my house,
My neighbours are traveling home,
To experience festivities with their extended family.

I feel the echoes from the children,
Who look at the Christmas trees,
Waiting for Santa to reward them for being good kids.

I hear the echoes from the priest,
He reminds us that the Messiah is here again,
For that, we need to have a love feast.

I hear the echoes when I pick up the phone,
To talk to Mum,
And her endless enquiries on when I am coming home.

The festive season,
A season we all go home,
Sing Christmas songs till dawn,
Eat chicken and turkey to our hearts' content,
Spread love and be merry,
Share stories about the present year experiences,
Share ideas on expectations from the next year.

Festive echoes,
Echoes of the Messiah to be born again,
Echoes of the year coming to an end,
I hear these echoes everywhere,
I feel these echoes in everything.

Ding, Dong,
Ding, Dong.

Ding, Dong,
Ding, Dong.

Christmas is here!!!
