A Tale Inspired By 'The Snow Queen' by Artus Scheiner

By Mike Singleton 💜 Mikeydred Published 11 days ago 1 min read
'The Snow Queen' by Artus Scheiner, (1863 - 1938).

Introduction

This is a very short story to usher in the New Year.

This was another amazing image shared by The Enchanted Booklet on Facebook:

The music is "The Snow Queen (Moldau)" by The Piano Guys.

The Snow Queen

When the autumn leaves have fallen carpeting the forest floor in brown and gold, then comes the time of the Snow Queen. She brings with her swirls of beautiful snowflakes that dance around the streetlights like tiny, excited fairies on diaphanous, beautiful wings, though none are so beautiful as the Snow Queen.

Although the trees have lost their leaves, the Snow Queen bring them nourishment, and when she leaves, spring will come, and their leaves, flowers and fruit will grow.

Each year the Snow Queen comes to bring forth the promise of new life and hope for the world.

    I’m a southerner, so she doesn’t come every year where I live. More like a couple of times per decade. Beautiful!
