Winter Wonderland

“we walk
hand in hand
the wind whipping
around us like
a kind of magic
shimmering off the branches
the trees laced with snow,
tiny dancers spring from the ground
like dust, tossed
here and there on
the wind …
spinning
twirling
swaying
to a song that only
they can hear
oh but how romantic
did they appear
And yes
how it moved me …
To each side of us,
shimmering towers of white
rose reaching for the sky
as if grasping for the hem
of heaven itself
And here
in this mystic place,
time seemed to slow
and the cold could
not touch our soul
nor pierce our hearts
Our hearts, which walked
between the towers of ice
and beat as one, unscathed
by icy spells or bewitched
by the beauty of this enchanting
forest, drifted away on a sea of
mesmerizing romantic possibilities
in our very own winter wonderland”
-Michael Traveler, “Winter Wonderland”
