The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, act rightly. The soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body. Mahatma Gandhi
___________________________________________
Winter is a suitable time to savor, Silent, quite starving for, my only flavor. Quiet seclusion enhances my languish, Providing pause, meditation, and favor. Frozen days of chilly nip raise my anguish, Apply comfy sheets, light for cold to vanquish. A dreadful bulk of cloud and a brisk breeze, Inspire sloth in a book respite, prankish. Beautifully arching shrubs and trees, A ballet of nature's dreams and appease. White feathers tumble to the soil below, As sapphire shines, emerald first wheeze. Fumes in chimneys coil, merge, and grow, I burn a recollection as shadows undergo. Crystal-clear river, frozen pearls, pristine, Wind gusts at dusk in a cold stream flow. It's peaceful in my heart and serene, And mesmerized by the gorgeous scene. Calm and eased by the stark lightness. Winter is when I languish, purify, and shrine. Indigo optimism overlays placid rightness, Potent nature pride ethereal brightness. A lovely mix of purple haze made it lighter, Insignia aesthetic—only ebbing politeness.

So true, Lasaad. Finding oneness within ourselves opens a door of enlightenment wherein we can gain a whole new perspective of life beyond ourselves. As always, an enjoyable rendering and a pleasant accord on your winning placement in Constance contest, my friend! Aloha, William

Beautifully written winter poem, Lasaad. I enjoy your lavish imagery and the use of many colors as your words flow smooth through my mind. The quote by Mahatma Gandhi was a great match for this poem. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

I like your quote at the top and this wonderful imagery: Beautifully arching shrubs and trees, A ballet of nature's dreams and appease. White feathers tumble to the soil below, As sapphire shines, emerald first wheeze...

an exquisitely written, Rubaiyat, Sotto. I deeply appreciate how beautifully described the winter scenes and their accompanying emotions. So many outstanding lines with extraordinary word play. You've reminded me that winter is a necessary time for both nature and man to replenish. Winter is a peaceful time if one can embrace its symbolic significance. The Ghandi quote was the perfect match. Must fave this so I can return to it during the winter months ahead. Have a great day, Sara

Wow, you've so brilliantly carved this piece with your mellifluous rhymes and enchanting wordplay! I am loving the use of colours throughout to convey about the required atmosphere. When winter brings an ambience for hibernation of the soul, providing time to introspect, breathe and think deeply.It often comes along with emotions that may rise beyond the comfort level.Because this is when we are asked to cleanse every negativity and detox from past traumas. That ending stanza is truly beautiful!
