The wind whispers with its playful tongue,
teasing me to start a dance on the frosted surface.
I jump forward on the mirror of silver ice
below the dome of snow covered branches
and move along the whirlwind of spinning colors.
I melt into the liquid rainbow of skating muses,
each with its own color and gift.
The tips of skating shows flirt with the slumbering water
as I sway and swirl, leaving a net of sparkling jade words,
which carry secret spells.
Then I see her right there
among clouds of lavender smoke
weaving illusions of grace and harmony
and my soul wants to sing.
My heart beats rapid
as the adrenaline embraces my body
and I feel the urge to skate with the nymph in lavender.
I dash forward, wings of jade sprout on my back
as I encircle the frail lady in her elegant pirouettes.
She smiles with warmth glowing on her face, unsure what do.
I am nervous as I extend out my hand
and wonder what insanity controls my mind.
However she accepts my daring proposition
and we glide at first unsure,
but then the vitality of the act dazzles our heads.
Colors erupt in fantastic visions of rhythm and synchrony.
Feet step faster and intertwine bolder,
creating a tribal melody, which resonates across the lake.
Winter magic is here at work and look at us now.
We are just a pair of graceful winter apparitions.

Melissa, I am not a Christmas person, but because of you I will share some magic of the season in my own special way. Hope this counts for you.
