Dark Longings, Frigid Dreams Golden leaves nestle in the chokecherry trees and capture my eyes and I think I heard cranes among the clouds the other day. While others may shudder with dread, I embrace the day that winter returns. I long for the curtain of cold which hangs heavy and low as fingers of ice-fog tingle my skin. Memories of summer hay days will dissipate like a one-night stand who was mildly amusing, but not all that good. Do you know what I mean? Hot nights and humid kisses meld into gauze-covered yesterdays. The incessant sun dance fails to entice; instead, I dream of the clarity of black and white. My body yearns to feel the clutch of chill; my eyes seek stars in a sky too bright at midnight hour. For my world is out of sync until frozen air cracks into shattered kisses and the snow squeaks under foot. Sun dogs will stretch into the dusk of day and beckon all to romp in their presence. I embrace the day that winter returns. Mountains, again, will glow in virgin white and prom-pink frosting as black nights will be laced with strands of dancing dreams called the Northern Lights I long to taste the days of winter cold on my tongue while hor frost coats my lashes mascara-thick. My senses are churning deep inside, on high-alert, waiting impatiently and my eyes are restless longing for the day my winter returns. --- Alison [This message has been edited by aziza (08-01-2007 11:16 AM).] |

I am especially fond of: “I dream of the clarity of black and white.”; “…my world is out of sync until frozen air cracks into shattered kisses(!)”; “Sun dogs will stretch into the dusk of day”; applause! |

Great write, Alison. It's a cold winter's night here in my part of the world so I'll dream it over to you if that's alright. |

From a former Alaska resident mesmerized by winter's blankets and those rainbow dancing lights, I really enjoyed this read....from a 'safe' distance in PA.  |
