our meagre house lights colour
darkness
in this month of the Christ
event
and then one Thursday
a white-haired
gentle
giant
slips away from this weary world
leaving vacuum
the closest we came here
to the essence of Christmas carol
fighter in the ring
turned freedom fighter
turned prophet
in prison
languishing
leaden soul
released to calls for vindictive revenge
instead called for
reconciliation
forgiveness
peace
and by a force of
giant
gentle
will
brought it about
