Winter Magic

Winter’s snow softly falls, flurries
invite me to a magic kingdom -
naïve of bitterness.  Cold and warmth
tethered together -  in lover’s arms, in hats and coats,
ethereal frozen hands over a chestnut fire.
Rivers made with planks of ice - bridges to a

macrocosm ecstasy of skating, sledding and more - all
against a backdrop of ancient oaks, maples and pines -
glazed with vanilla icing.  Gilded Rooftops trill peppermint*
icicles.  We snap them off and lick, like lollipops. Rosy-cheeked
children melt,  in this serendipitous,  wonderland of snow.
