The Arctic Zone

The powdery snow falls stealthily over the majestic pine trees Camouflaging the green landscape with an opaque quilt A sonorous ,silent lullaby it sings “Be happy and blithe, for I will cover you till the fluorescent spring.” The phosphorescent moon cast its resplendent silvery glow The naughty sun plays hide and seek effortlessly The sombre winter night promises bleak loneliness The pristine white snow glistens in the bitter cold. No longer can we hear the sweet chirping of birds Melancholy oozes from the silvery night sky The serene, beautiful earth rejoices in its somnolence in the absolute artic zone The snow clad trees stand cold and  white sending shivers down my spine. Indoors a family enjoys steaming cups of hot cocoa Grandma bakes the traditional taffy and hot gingerbread Gathering cozily besides the quaint wood bearing fireplace Joyful children play their favourite board games. Warm kindness is the divine gift we share For a Merry Christmas is in the air Happiness is the season’s magical cheer Embracing with it all near and dear. Nature teaches us its precious unique lesson Stay strong in all seasons of life For after the biting ,bitter cold of Winter Comes the always welcome, delightful, warm Spring ! ____ ____
