Reconciliation

It’s the end of the old year. A time to throw away old grudges and forgotten grievances, a time to make room for what will come in the new year.  A time for reconciliation in the spirit of Nelson Mandela’s Rainbow Nation …

Reconciliation
 Our bruises

Red and purple
 
 Black and brown
 
 Forgotten

Forgiven
 
 Forgiving
 
 We run through green paddy

Our cheeks meet
 
 Rosy pink

Under watchful clusters of dragon eyes
 
 Our fire crackles
 
 Orange and gold
