Snowing Xmas

Magnificent! Willow stands in silent prayer, 
      enthralling, calm and composed,
 It's snowing tonight..bestowing blessings ~  
     so does the evergreen unruffled... 
 
  stretching its arms in thankfulness, 
decked with shimmering snow-pellets, 
in absolute harmony of the cosmos magnanimous. 
gleaming and glistening as the stars countless~  
                    
               It's Christmas! symbolizing the spirit of 
                    kindness, love, compassion glow...
           I glimpse through the hazy window-panes, 
          world around me dazzling with scintillating snow.
                          
            reminiscences of many delightful Christmas 
                 roll gently 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,
             true essence of Christmas for ever. 

             A tranquil, serene, dreamy night, 
           mesmerizing snow, falling unhindered,
          envelop the entire universe around me. 
         I ponder my life of hues multi-coloured.

        The exhilarating ebullience - for ever crystallized..
          the inspiring dreams, the fervent hopes,
        never fail to sight the mystifying truth
         in every alluring snowflake I behold. 
                             
                                    
                                     
                                             FIRST PLACE
