Walking in a Winter Wonderland
A Walk Down Memory Lane
We walked down the street
Hands stuffed deep in our pockets
Attached at the hip
Night gathered ‘round us
Temperatures dropped down low
Highlighting our breath
I looked on in awe
As lights sparkled in twilight
Shining off the snow
Colorful delight
Dancing in enchanted eyes
Mesmerizing stars
Santas and reindeer
Trees with their leaves all aglow
Winter wonderland
You and me, so small
And so insignificant
Before this beauty
We stood in silence
For once at peace together
At peace with ourselves
No money problems
No yelling or pounding doors
No hiding alone
We almost forgot
All that waited us back at home
Temporary truce
