Winter Wonderland

Walking steadily in the winter sun, 
Wondering when the heavy snow shall come; 
Hoping for the winter wonderland’s fun, 
Restricting my heart to love and succumb, 
Waiting for joy time hoping I have some, 
While beautiful hymns I recall and hum. 
Snow seems like a swan in magical dance; 
I looked around me with sorrowful eyes; 
Bloodstained the brilliance of the ambience 
In amongst the gloom of war, I heard cries, 
While the whiteness was only a disguise, 
In bed, I perceive, sob and agonize. 
When a new morning is upon the birds, 
The fate of the wounded soldiers arise; 
The repair of their hearts needs more than words 
Their place is not far off from the dark skies. 
The winter is bright it is also in disguise; 
For the bitter end makes them realise. 
Hoping not to be alone anymore, 
And all wars and sadness I will ignore.
