December

On a bleak-cold icy day, When everything was white and grey, When frost benumbed my hands, I stumbled on a frozen lake, That was tumulted with life and sand. I put a step forward, And then I sunk down, To drink the exilir of happiness, Abandoning my barbed crown. Time tangled in ice lattice, And I walked through the aisle of memories, Of warmth and cold , Of basking in the sun, In the freezing winters, Of late december. Of cold winds, And Christmas lights, Of carolings and bribes. But now I am trammeled, In a suburban house, No one knocking at the door, No one strutting around.

That's so nice to know that we see the same picture through some mere words. Thanks for appreciating.
