PROMPT – 28: A DANCE OF JOY ON THE ICE

In a distant land, where winter holds its sway,

There lies a frozen lake, where laughter holds its sway.

As an observer, I stand in awe, my heart aglow,

At the vibrant scene unfolding on the ice below.

The air is crisp, the sky serene and clear,

The frozen lake a canvas for merriment and cheer.

Villagers, young and old, take to the ice with glee,

Gliding, twirling, spinning in perfect harmony.

With skates laced tight, they gracefully glide,

Creating intricate patterns, side by side.

Their laughter echoes, a symphony of delight,

As they dance on the frozen stage, so light.

Children race and play, their cheeks rosy and bright,

Chasing after a puck with all their might.

Their giggles fill the air, as they slide and slide,

Their joy contagious, impossible to hide.

Amidst the village settlement, small and quaint,

Life unfolds on this frozen canvas, no complaint.

Neighbors gather, sharing stories and good cheer,

Filling the frozen air with warmth and love sincere.

Houses huddle close, their chimneys puffing smoke,

Providing solace and comfort to weary folk.

The frozen lake unites them, a common ground,

Where laughter, camaraderie, and happiness abound.

Oh, how I wish to join this jubilant scene,

To glide on the ice, as if in a dream.

But as an observer, I'll cherish the view,

Captivated by the magic that winter can imbue.

For in this random place on Earth, so cold,

A frozen lake transforms into a stage of gold.

And as I watch the dance unfold before my eyes,

I'm reminded of the simple joys that life implies.

So let us celebrate the joyous scenes we find,

In every corner of this vast world, one of a kind.

For in each frozen lake or sunny meadow fair,

Laughter and merriment await, spreading joy everywhere.
