Essence of winter


As winters are settling in, I find them filled with soulful silences. Silences which speak to you, if you talk and listen to them. It shows you a great concourse of phantasmagoric shadows. The wind touches your skin and each cell of your body can feel it, making you realize that you are alive ! It is not really my favourite season , but dont you just love the slight chill in the air, that faint winter smell ? I love it for another reason- it helps me to write...good, bad, anything. ;) And it helped me yet again.


A night very fine, with a glass of wine
I stood near the fireplace
The window above, with plants of clover
Caught my gentle gaze
The fine dark sky, filled with fireflies
One came and sat on my window
And sang a song to me-the winter melody
Filling music in the sky
A flute played low, and asked me to go
go and follow the music
And all i saw, was falling snow
a blanket all over me
The view was great, polishing my fate
and the star shone in response.....


Abrupt ending isn't it ? For me it is not. But i leave up to you, to mak your own ending-happy, sad, comedy, romantic...anything. Use your kaleidoscopes ;)
Enjoy winter, cluttering of teeth, shivering you, hot chocolate and Christmas carols ! Cheers
