In Every Snowflake I Behold
Magnificent Willow stands in silent prayer,
calm and composed,
so does the unruffled Evergreen,
stretching its arms in thankfulness,
decked with shimmering snow-pellets,
gleaming and glistening as the countless stars are,
in the absolute harmony of the magnanimous cosmos
Majestic jewellery adorned.
It's Christmas!
symbolizing the spirit of kindness, love, compassion, joy...
I glimpse through the hazy window-panes,
world around me dazzling with shiny snow,
reminiscences of many delightful Christmas days
roll through my thoughts,
an open album of heartfelt memories!
Of boxes, ribbons, and golden bows,
sprinkles, silver bells, and cookies...
of family rejoicing together...
of extending generous support to the needy.
A tranquil, serene night,
mesmerizing snow, falling uninterrupted, unhindered,
envelop the entire universe around me.
I ponder my life of multi-coloured hues,
in every snowflake I behold,
the inspiring dreams, the fervent hopes,
the intense ebullience -
for ever crystallized.
