There's Just Something About This Season
Ivory flakes drift off snow-tipped pines with ease. December has come and it’s time to stay warm. Days when Autumn’s zenith disappears, when crystalline icicles form without warning. Silver moondust shines afar, captured in a brief moment of barren branches fearing the solstice of Winter. But I believe in the beauty Winter encompasses. The feeling of fresh breeze against my chapped cheeks; embracing hot cocoa to ease my chill.
reverie of snow
barren trees fear the winter-
ivory landscape
Christmas shall soon arrive with all its wonder. All who are merry and bright shall find peace. There is just something about this season that frees the mind from the heat life can bestow. Lights string my home and shine under the crepuscular stars aglow below the Christmas star. Jesus was born in December, and I shall always praise God for birthing a baby boy to adore all my days.
Christmas bestows peace
to all who believe in God-
December birthday
December shall soon turn to January and a new year shall arrive. A new beginning for me; a time to resolute my wishes and dreams. Better myself and bring myself to a place where I can find the hush of Winter’s gust. Days of cold, yet months of warmth from the love I carry for my family. I thank the Lord for nature’s wonder and show gratitude for all He has given me this year.
fresh beginning with
joy to embrace this season-
God is GREAT to me
