Reverie of Wintertime

In winter’s peaceful reverie, enchanting snowfall reigns
with dizzy, wistful flurries that flow so lightly down
they settle softly o’er the treetops and the winding lanes
while children sled around and distant church bells sound 
across the wavy hillsides and blanketed white ground. 

And in the air, aromas waft of lightly roasted chestnuts 
distinctly mixed with purest scents of cinnamon and spice
it lingers around chimneys, settles into evening’s hush
enticing all to gather into home and hearth’s fire light 
to celebrate with Christmas songs and jubilant delight.

Hi Laura. I’ve always wanted to taste roasted chestnuts at Christmas but alas I am in the Southern Hemisphere. One day though! Congrats on your win in the contest.
