Disturbing the snow that has blanketed the land
A random choice to start walking
Somewhat hoping to be lost in the winter
Turning unknown corners brings me to a
Workshop, only to leave me in
Wonder
My, the things one can wonder
Things thought to never have graced the land
Making my mouth open in
Awe, a reindeer flew past, as opposed to the usual walking
Following it's path with my eyes, I happened to spot a
Small sled, seemingly surprised by the new winter
"Sir," I cried, "I see you are ready for winter
but your sled will not move, so I wonder,
if you may need some help?" With a
Twinkle in his eye, he explained "I am new to this land,
My friends have flown off, but luckily you were walking
By. Would you like to come in?"
With a flourish, he went in
The workshop. When I realized the chill of winter
I followed, slowly walking
Observing everything with wonder
Of how this was never here before on this land
Yet it all seemed so settled, almost like a ...
A place for amazement, a place to relax, a
structure that's been there for years. I felt I was in
the presence of one whose seen many lands
But only in the winter.
The workshop was filled with wonder,
As I remembered I wanted to be lost when I started walking
I couldn't help but to stop walking
When the gentleman turned around, dressed in a
red suit, with white cotton lining, laughing at my wonder.
"Now that you are here, comfortable and safe in
My home, you may relax this winter."
"Where am I?" I asked, confused and perplexed, "What is this land?"
With twinkling eyes, he replied, "My dear, you are walking in
A winter
wonderland"
