It's Christmas

snowing tonight ~ whispering, luminescent, dazzling,   air misty ~ wind calm, serene,  sights outside blurred, indistinct through the hazy window-panes,  rooftops getting blanketed with white laces ~ a picturesque winter wonderland,  treetops embellished with silver ornaments, grasses caressed by soft touches of snow,   my heart is with you, craving for the profound tenderness of your company ~ It’s Christmas! Wish you were with me!  this is the first in many years, since we met, I am alone! You are alone!  spent Christmas Days together - in inimitable happiness ~ embracing the snow...gazing at twinkling lights around ... and at glittering stars above ~ lovingly watching us,  witnessing a tender love blossom.  our tree - we brought it every year, from the nearest farm - you and I carried it together,  decorated together with so many precious memories ... our little nutcracker soldier from your childhood ~ the enthralling seashell you picked up from Goa beach for me, and I wear it as a pendant ~ brings the sonorous sound of ocean ~  created a hanging ornament.  this might be a different Christmas for us,  Christmas magic is the same,  you are away from me ~ but you are healing pains for many ~ an aura of love and kindness envelops the world as softly and gently as the shimmering snow falls,  you and I together in our dreams ~ weaving our captivating memories ...
