Winter Slumber
Winter whirling anxiety upon silent, shadows light sleeping from dawn to dusk.
Sky smudged in a raven haze,
mist lining paths with a silver shade.
The emerald sea freezes like a pastel ice ring reflecting intimate lies.
Feathered snowflakes tumble into glistening grief,
palls waving goodbye to soothing sentimental zeal.
Rays of serenity sailing into slate sooty showering puddles,
As the chilly wind swirls smiles into frosted hazardous glares.
Birds singing of hope in the bitter crispy darkness;
chirping melodies till the sunrise awakens from its slumber.
Melodies reflect on the familiarity of childhood dreams,
Endeavouring to glow their light upon sorrowful eyes,
striving to colour an ebony horizon with copper clouds.
Children assembling polar alien figures,
snowmen sink strife with whispers of secret sunrise.
Superficial ensembles stir up veiled laughter,
Horror of trauma rest’s it’s weary tears as hands throw ice in delight.
Windows alighted with reviving candlelight flames of jubilant joy.
