A winter's reflection

In the quietude of winter, we often find ourselves confronted with the depths of our own being. This free verse exploration delves into the emotional landscape of this season, from despair to hope. Like the character of Ebenezer Scrooge, we may find ourselves lost in the darkness of our own hearts. Yet, through introspection and empathy, we can emerge transformed, embracing the warmth of human connection and the promise of a brighter future.

And though I have chosen a festive background, the poem is originally inspired by the photo challenge 542 shared by Mindlovemisery's menagerie 

Welfare unto all 

Rab rakha

'Tis the season

The flakes of peace blanketing this earth,

and love smoldering in every hearth,

the feast of childhood and warm circle of folks,

melody in songs, laughter and wild jokes,

gifts that say we care,

grace and blessings here,

Lord in our hearts, and a spirit that never grows old,

a coin for charity, joyous traditions replayed and retold.

The glow of happiness, lamps and light.

Never the winter, with such a Christmas bright.
