Sweet Nostalgia: A Sparkling Winter Day
Sweet nostalgia! I recall wonderful hours of skating across the slick, glistening pond where I grew up. I also remember occasionally hitting tiny twigs and pine cones, covertly imbedded in the ice, and then landing ker-splat. Although I am more aware of fitness now than ever, the exercise of caution rules, and I have not dared to don skates and head for the nearby lake to frolic—chiefly because of those sneaky twigs.
Growing ‘top the snowy hill
These legs, once strong and agile
Refuse to do my will.
I dream of flashing skate blades
As snowflakes swirl and fall
On crystal ice that dazzles,
As I slide, and glide, o’er all.
Like my youth those frosty flakes
So quickly melt away,
In memory now I frolic
On a sparkling winter day.
