December Poetry
December
THE lakes of ice gleam bluer than the lakes Of water 'neath the summer sunshine gleamed: Far fairer than when placidly it streamed, The brook its frozen architecture makes, And under bridges white its swift way takes. Snow comes and goes as messenger who dreamed Might linger on the road; or one who deemed His message hostile gently for their sakes Who listened might reveal it by degrees. We gird against the cold of winter wind Our loins now with mighty bands of sleep, In longest, darkest nights take rest and ease, And every shortening day, as shadows creep O'er the brief noontide, fresh surprises find. I Heard A Bird Sing In the dark of December A magical thing And sweet to remember. 'We are nearer to Spring Than we were in September,' I heard a bird sing In the dark of December. Skating The Shaker Ponds You know the Shakers have six ponds in the woods, All within walking distance of each other and from us as well, Not to mention a seventh, mile and a half below. All connected by ditches. One day in December some time ago before the snow came, We had a spell of cold weather. Mercury dropped to ten scratches Beneath the hole for three nights running. Morning of the fourth day Snow was predicted by nightfall, Fact was, the sky was yellow gray by eleven. Gonna skate, gotta do it now. Through the woods up to the North Pond. Long and narrow, Glimmerglass smooth. We skated the length in two minutes, Off with skates and through some bony marsh Onto Runaway, the largest of the seven with an island to go around twice, then Race down the middle to the dam. Skates off and over a trail to the earth dam east end of Fountain, putting in, Skirting the shore to the spillway end. Boots on and along the pine needled woods road to the Cluster of three ponds below the Village. Snow starting. Around the top one quick, then Tip toe on skate points to the middle pond where the swan lives year round now. Over the dam dropping right onto the lower pond, Skating into a snow swirl that skimmed the ice, starting to stick to the shore. We called it quits. Inch of snow on the ground by the time we got home. We buttered up hot rum and maple syrup Sprinkled with cinnamon, sat by the stove saying, We should do that again, take in Carding Mill too. But we never have. That was twenty years ago. |

DECEMBER SNOW
I shuffle through the fresh new snow while strolling in the park, Seeing shadows start to form as it is getting dark. So quietly and peacefully new snowflakes hit the ground, And form a pure white layer and they never make a sound. The soft flakes feel like drops of ice when drifting on my face, And everything feels fresh and clean as I walk through this place. The trees are covered with a coat of freshly fallen snow, Then some have icy branches that give off a crystal glow. The only sound that I can hear is little wisps of wind, But only for a moment then the air is still again. My heart is overflowing with a feeling from within, A gentle, soothing, calming feeling comes to me again. I stop to meditate and feel the breeze upon my face, I need this time alone to touch my feelings and embrace, The constant nagging question in my mind that causes doubt, Once again I ask myself "what is it all about?" December is upon us and the holidays are near, It is a month when peace on earth is echoed loud and clear. It is a month when people try to have good will toward man, But always seems that good will ends as quick and it began. If only people took the time to stop and smell the air, If only people took the time to treat all others fair. If only people did not feel they had to leave their mark. If only there were peace on earth as I feel in this park, As... I stood there thinking of the words that I just said, I recalled words, something like this, that long ago I read. It came to me as silently as snow upon the breeze, "If my people turn to me and fall upon their knees" I knew there was much more to it, those words were just the start, But those few words were all I needed deep within my heart. I did not need the other words, the meaning I had felt, And in the freshly fallen snow, I bowed my head and knelt. I felt the tears roll down my face and glisten in the snow, Tears of joy or tears of sorrow, that I did not know. I knew what I was feeling I could not feel on my own, And as I spoke these words I know I was not there alone. I understand I'm just one man, and lowly, meek and poor, And as I understand the words you said you wanted more. So peace I will not pray for but instead I'll pray for these, I pray that all who call your name will fall down on their knees. And at this Christmas season as so many times before, Understand the reason what this season was made for. Lift your prayers to heaven and then pray that they increase, Remember that this season was made for the Prince Of Peace.

I still remember
Last December When we were still in love Warmness all around us Even as the ground was Filled with snow Laughter broke through winter Our hearts; burning embers Smiles easily found Your hand in mine I kept My soulful expectations - met A happiness I had not known Another December I try to remember When we were still in love This one is lonely As it is just me Awaiting the first snow The air is now colder Memories getting older My smile can't be found My hand is empty My soul is empty Happiness I do not know I miss you .....

DECEMBER ab kay aaoo to
December ab kay aao to... Tum uss shehr-e-tamanna ki khabar laana... Kay jis may jugnoo'n ki kehkashaain jhilmilaati hain... Jahan titlee kay rangoo'n sey fazaain muskuraati hain... Wahan chaaro'n taraf khushboo wafa ki hai... Aur uss ko jo bhi pouron sey Nazar sey chhoo gaya pal bhar Mehek uthaa... December ab kay aao to... Tum uss shehr-e-tamanna ki khabar laana... Jahan per rait kay zarey sitaarey hain... Gul-o-bulbul, maah-o- anjum wafa kay istiaarey hain... Jahan dil woo samander hai , jiss kay kaee kinaarey hain... Jahan qismat ki daive muthiyon mein jagmagaati hai... Jahan dhakan ki lay per bey-khudi nagmein sunaati hai... December hum sey na poocho... hamaarey sheher ki baabat... Yahan aankhoun mein guzrey kaarwaan ki gard thehri hai... Labo'n per al-atsh hain, badan mein faaqey pinaptey hein... Muhabbat barff jaisee hai yahaan Aur dhoop kay khaitoun mein ugti hai... Yahan jab subah aati hai Tou shab kay saarey sapney Raakh kay aik dhair ki soorat mein dhaltey hein... Yahan jazboun ki tooti kirchiyaan aankhoon mein chupbhti hain... Yahan dil kay lahoo mein Apne Laikh'on ko dabo ker ham Sunehray khwaab buntey hein... Phir unn khwaaboun mein jeetay hein... Inhi khwaaboun pey martey hein... Dareedah rooh ko lafzoon sey seena goo nahin mumkin... Magar phir bhi December... Ab KaY AaOoO Tu... Tum uss shehr-e-tamanna ki khabar laana.....!!! ............................................. Chandni december ki Raat us ney pocha tha Tumko kesi lagti hai Chandni December ki... Saal-o-maah ke baarey may Guftagu key kya maaney Chahey koi manzar ho Dasht ho, samander ho June ho, December ho Dharkano ka har naghma Manzaron pay bhaari hai Saath jb tumhara ho Dil ko ek sahara ho Aisa lagta hai jaisay Ek nasha sa taari hai Lakin uski qurbat mein Kuch nahi kaha mein ney Takti rah gayee mujh ko Chandni December ki ....

Before going to bed
After a fall of snow I look out on the field Shining there in the moonlight So calm, untouched and white Snow silence fills my head After I leave the window. Hours later near dawn When I look down again The whole landscape has changed The perfect surface gone Criss-crossed and written on where the wild creatures ranged while the moon rose and shone. why did my dog not bark? Why did I hear no sound There on the snow-locked ground In the tumultuous dark? How much can come, how much can go When the December moon is bright, What worlds of play we'll never know Sleeping away the cold white night After a fall of snow. (May Sarton) "December Moon" ____________________________________ December finds himself again a child Even as he undergoes his age. Cold and early darkness now descends, Embracing sanctuaries of delight. More and more he stares into the night, Becoming less and less concerned with ends, Emblem of the innocent as sage Restored to wonder by what he must yield. (Nicholas Gordon)

December
December
The December wind chills the bone Another walk in the park alone Another empty feeling Empty feeling in my soul. Every couple that I pass on the street Brings back memories Of you Beside me. Hanging on to hope Drowning in pain Watching my life Watching my life Wash down the drain. The December wind chills the bone. Bleeding in disguise Silently Quietly Masking the shame of being alone Dying Slowly Alone. I've burned out all the lights That once divided my days and nights Now my world is dark It is dark And very cold. The December wind chills the bone.

!!!SUNO DECEMBER!!!
Naee hikayat muhabbaton ki Shikayatoon ki Bhujhe bhuje se haroof le kar Kohar mein doobi seyyahoon ki Warq warq per utaarna hai Udaas shamoo ke phool chun kar Suno December Ussay pukaaro Ussay bulaaoo Suno December ... Ussay mila do Ab is se pehlay ke saans niklay Ab is se pehlay ke saal guzray Wohi lakeerain wohi sitaara Meri lakeeroon mein qaid kar do Ya aakhri shab ke aakhri pal Koi bara ikhtitaam kar do Yeh zindagi bhi tamaam kar do Suno December ... Ussay mila do...

Beqarar mausam mein
Yaad k jharonkon say Phir tumhee say milnay kii Dil mein kitni khuwahish hai Jo udas rakhti hai Aaj kal DECEMBER ki phir udas Shamein hain In juaar aankhon mein Zard zard ratein hain Barishon k mausam mein Toot phoot jatay hain Jab bhi yaad atay ho Khud ko bhool jatay hain
