a winter's wish

GLOBAL WARMING has been the talk of the town for many many months. We talk of how hot the climate is getting, how unbearable the summers are and that there is barely any rain to spare. But as i sit in class this fine Winter morning wrapped in a fine, thick jacket and watch all those around me shivering in the chill and warming themselves up, it takes me back to those days when winters were still cold, and the sun didn't shine all that bright. It makes me think, perhaps I understand what my parents mean when they say that the city was so chill in their days that it was unbearable to step out of the house.

The winter's chill makes me want to cuddle up in bed with a thick blanket, reading a book and perhaps some hot  chocolate. This isn't so much lethargy as it is the desire for warmth and cosiness, the thought of warm, smooth liquids flowing down your throat, satisfying every muscle, bone and cartilage. The piping hot cup between my fingers tingling my sensations, my body craving for more warmth.

Perhaps a bath, in a tub of boiling hot water, its temperature against the chill of the winter, seemingly warm, relaxing the body, easing the muscles and rejuvenating the mind.

The crazy winds blowing all around, ears shut and heads covered. Blowing out the chill that surrounds us, breathes of fog as the early morning mist, exudes the body, perhaps the warmth settling in. These are the things that i dream, these are my winter's wish!!
