Give me a winter wrapped in pleasing fragility of intense cold,
Of unequivocal bliss of dancing snowflakes,
Melting into the flashing sunlight.
Give me a winter filled with chuckles of mischievous children,
Of outrageous snowball fights, red cheeks and snorts,
While their traceless footprints melt into the snow.
Give me a winter thawed by the burning hearth of my home,
Like a cat neatly dozes off to the sound of the boiling kettle,
Of the warmth of being surrounded by loved ones.
