A Magical Time of Year

A Magical Time of Year

 

My favorite time of year,

can you imagine…

when the sun warms the blanket of white

that covers each square  inch of soil,

roof top,

each happy face

while light reflects from distant galaxies,

beaming from the telephoto lens,

somewhere in a neighboring world.

 

Do you feel the chill

as it creeps beneath the skin,

riding each nerve until resting on a sensation

one want so much not to feel,

even though the pleasure rises

from the excitement as it twist and turns

until the cheeks glow red?

 

The crunching of hooves

find their way through each frozen imprint

that echoes in the caverns

 dancing along the thoughts of happiness

as bells blend with bass

accenting joy as we wait for the sun

to say goodnight  

while flurries scatter across the  pines;

a new layer filling the old as if virgin.

 

Stars fill the sky with a vast of twinkles

shouting loudly into the night…

give way to rhythms so magical

they gyrate the heart and glisten through the soul

while absorbing each moment in time;

pockets of memories that will radiate forever

in depths of the mind
