Winter Magic
I dare claim to be a poet, yet I am
One whose home is situated in a tropical paradise
Of a snowy winter, I have never felt
Still
I can open my mind, and even my heart
To let the magic of a snowy winter overwhelm me!
A snowy winter would chill my bones, true
But it would also melt my soul's bump
Pray, it has been years since I have been trapped
In life's messy venomous vines
It has been years since I have chosen to live shrouded in darkness
It has been years since I claim to have entrusted the Lord with my heart
It has been years
Yes
It has been years lasting too long!
Now
The feel of a snowy winter
Surrounded by familial warmth
Plus a loving gaze
Accompanied by a cup of warm cappuccino
Would be all the magic that I need
To fall back in love with life
To enjoy its many paths
To enjoy toiling
And serving
To enjoy its little joys
As well as its load of hurdles!
Why
Life is as it is
Life is certainly not to be blamed for my plight
I acted out
And life merely reacted!
Always have I thought that no one would be powerful enough
To have me change my mind
And my resolute decisions
But the flakes of snow
The cold chilly frozen breeze
The sight of the lover, back from a day's work
The warmth of the season, even if it is cold
The bond of a delicious dinner
Are the perfect ingredients
To cause my soul's bump to melt!
Pray, snowy winters are magical
I am sure in such times
White angels, disguised as snow flakes
Roam about,
And heal the trodden souls!
Yes, of a snowy winter I do wish to be given a good treat
Yes, of a magical winter, I do wish to experience
Life lasts only for a while
Better would it be to live it with an amiable temper!
