#winter wonderland
I redesigned Mercy’s sugar plum fairy skin to look a little more like the actual ballet
Warmth of a blanket; warmth of a mug
Buzz of a kettle; bustle of work
Inhaling the pillow, in search of that dream; smell of cinnamon, pervading your tea
Torn between four walls and a city -
Ready to embrace the season of gift-wrapping and candy canes
What of the quiet, intimate crunch of leaves - falling gently onto the damp concrete road?
What of the showers, trickling on your window, inviting you to tuck beneath your duvet and close your eyes.
Protagonists of bitter cold, characters of a realm of tender chants, merry dinners and giggles.
All joining together, for another month. Calling for you. YOU YOU YES YOU.
Red mugs, fairy lights, winter wonderlands, skates, snow, icicles.
Stop, there’s more!
Ribbons, glitter, letters and decorations. Windows entreat you, elf hats jump around you, reindeers jingle in their warm furry coats.
There’s more, there’s more!
A cold breath condensing onto the window pane of a toasty café. A numb finger connecting letters on that very pane.
Mittens and scarves entwining and dancing to an overpowering wind.
There’s more, there’s more!
Too many tales to tell, so many childhood memories - emerging, once again tangible in their cosy wintry guises.
Once again time lapses, yet freezes - suspended in a bubble that moves forward and yet hones you in an alien dimension.
Where are all these smiles, all these glimmering eyes on a regular Monday?
