Winter I come

​

The triumphal smile 
reaches the diagonal of my thoughts
a bingo of radiance
circles the mistletoe 
the snowy prelude of some silence
is matched by the euphory of the night 
the milky way paves the way to inner findings
sparse injections of optimism
and I take off from my idealism
imagining all the faces
around the christmas tree
delighted for a night
no more fighting to flee 
all united in cheers
