WINTER GLEES

Oh, my friends, here comes winter again,

A season which fills my heart with delight and the love of my darling reigns,

When the sky is covered with thick clouds trying to block the sun rays from reaching the earth, in vain,

A season when we enjoy sitting outside during the day and wrapped in a blanket at night,

A time when vivid sweaters and jackets wrap everybody tight,

A period when the delicious smell of grills arising from barbeques spread in the chilling wind,

A stretch when bonfires keep everyone warm, and they dance around it with joy like the naughty fireflies,

A time when sleeping gives immense pleasure, by hugging each other,

A period when the body warmth of each other keeps us warm and away from shivering,

A season when even birds stay together in their nest for warmth,

A season when earth happily gets covered with the white blanket of fog,

When nude trees stand bending their head as though they are shy,

A favourite season for the love birds,

A time to enjoy hot coffee and sizzling fritters.
