Poem Title:
Poem
I stood on the balcony one night, The land was bathed in luminous light, The air was filled with winter's chill, Frost had covered the window sill. I stared into the sky above, My heart had swelled full of love, The galaxy glowed with bright stars, Lights so heavenly, from afar. The night shone bright on every hill, Yet, everything was quiet and still, Through the valley no wind did blow, The little village blanketed in snow. What joy the Yule is going to bring, At the break of dawn, the town will sing, Making this, one eve to remember, On one magical night of December. But, in this fantasy land it is late, And this seasonable panorama is great, I want to take this long walk alone, Through unchanging scenery, I wander from home. I'll take a candle to light my way, Upon the ice, I could walk until day, I made it up a deep, glittering bank, In the glistening snowflakes, my feet sank. A million diamonds now covered the land, I pulled my mittens on, over my hands, The snow could never melt in this cold, The Northern degrees of stories once told. I will enjoy the winter as in days of old, The still photographs of the past unfold, A thermometer shows the drop of degrees, The thaw of the snow I hope not to see. Mirrored is my reflection along the river, Quartz crystals of ice, makes me shiver, Icicles hang from a cabin, near the woods, Silently, wolves and elk in the forest, stood. Reindeer and rabbits run through the snow, A memorable sight in the lovely moon's glow, An owl calls out from high in a tree, Imagine all this, as a keepsake to see. Tomorrow the snow will make the children sing, To the hills, a toboggan they will bring, Soon, we will hear his sleigh bells ring, And, all the Christmas bells will be jingling! Written by : Kelly Deschler For Leonora Galinta's contest - Christmas Epic
