Sanu's Space

Tottering in the woods; losing grip in the snow was a lost reindeer. Passing trees reflecting in wide brown eyes; tearing up with fear. Moving quickly, sliding on the slippery ground so wet, So cold she was and yet full of nervous sweat. Speeding, she scissored through the forest,  heart thumping; heading towards the way she knows best.  Leaping and Falling deep into a dark abyss. Down she went only to hear the wind with a soft hiss.  Heartbeat weak with death closing in with its icy hand;  not a sound to be heard in all the land.  Gods whisper, rest in peace reindeer! A calming hand upon her soul, trying to get home, her ultimate goal.  But she fought death tooth and nail, to get to her family of little ones without fail. As the dim rays of the morning sun fell upon her nose, towards the light, her head rose.  On her feet, though in pain, out of the ravine and on its way again.  With elated spirits, finally finding home

Drizzled light falling on snow flaked branches; A marvellous year full of memories, both hers and his.  Shiny ornaments hung on corner trees, a wonderful moment to savour and seize.  Mellow lights and shadows bringing cheer, people indulging in extravagance to make life happier.  Shiny wooden tables reflecting the spotlight, drinks guzzled and dinner cherished with every bite.  Romantic couples taking their time and space,  with joyous chatter and excitement on their face.  Lingering there with wine filled, swirling glasses and savouring food,  all through the evening, a congenital vibe and a soothing mood.  Soft music floating through the air; With each other, delightful nostalgia we get to share.  Short stairway leading up to a heavenly meal; Something that means to us, a great deal.  Fine dining with crowds getting noisy; Drift away! The night is still young and so are we.  -Sanaya
