A Christmas Snow

A Christmas Snow

In the distance I hear them, 
Through the snow capped hills beyond the icy river below...
The voices are a delight to the ears...

I smile in spite of the cold...

I run and stumble, a cascade of snow quickly swallows me whole...
I race toward the magical sounds that fill the brisk air....

I smile in spite of the cold...

As I catch my breath I gaze intently...
A sight so amazing, so incredible, I freeze in place...
The brilliant snowflakes delicately fall gently across my face...

I smile in spite of the cold...

Set into the white washed hills is a lit city of sorts...
Raised above the blanket of snow... 
Made entirely of ice crystal are the houses of old...

I smile in spite of the cold...

I gasp... as I am blinded by the scene that lay before me...
Singing with angelic voices are children with rosy cheeks...
They are serene and blissful so full of light...

I smile in spite of the cold...
