OUR WINTER WONDERLAND
By İdil Ada Aydos
When the world is covered in white,
When the fire crackles against
The cold and chill and the silence of the night
As we wait for the clock to reach midnight
We were clouds carrying white, frosty powder.
We lost each flake one by one
We could no longer carry them
As the years passed
Santa bringing a rainbow of presents
Down the chimney with his sleigh
Struck the ground and melted
As we grew and realized
Everything being possible
The first day of the year
Delicate crystals of hope for a miracle
Fell down and fell down
When the magic deformed into reality
Did the fire die?
Were we suddenly awakened
To see wonder packing and leaving?
Gather closed ones around the hearth
Let go of the enchanting flakes
Why not create our own winter wonderland
And start the new year with joy and pray?
