Ottawa Dreams

far far away
where skies are always grey
but hearts glad
hellos are common
warming wintry mornings of purest white.

this fairytale land
where snowflakes litter pretty dreams
and days are short but happy.

I now return to a land of sunshine and more sunshine
casting aside winter's cold
for cotton shirts and flip-flops
where humid nights greet tepid dawns
clutching a pocketful of snow dreams
and songs of a winter white world, far far away.
