Winter solstice has begun and Its holiday season. the cold has come as well, it's freezing outside my window right now, but then that's the way it is in this northern part of the country.
It's the beginning of the dead season as i often refer to it, a time of quiet and what seems like a time of lifeless desolation covered in snow, as it is this time of year. Most winter seasons there is snow and alot of it, but some of the times that winter comes we don't get much snow at all.
Those are the strangest winters we've had up in my part of the country. I was born and raised in New York state, and i have seen many winters come and go, since I was a very young boy
Some of those winter seasons were beautiful, but other times the snow was downright unbelievable, making the winter seem to last forever. I would often get cabin fever long before winter ended every year, the snow depressed me, seeing it outside my window all the time just made it harder for me every year.
I'm older now, and literally hate winter, hate it when it comes, and stays so long, makes the days look and feel so bleak, so quiet, and short as well as cold. It all makes me yearn for spring to come, with the warmth and long days, with the earth coming back to life, after days of cold and snow, that freezes into ice, but then melting in the sun that comes bringing heat to everything it touches.
Still there are days in early spring when the spirit of winter, or the legendary Snow Queen tries to come back to freeze the world all over again as cold as her icy heart is, just to dominate the earth for longer than her time allows her to keep hold of the planet.

Colder days are on the rise, those days are quiet, and the quiet is a sound that can be deafening at times, to the point that silence makes it feel lonely even during the day. This is how winter can be, as snow comes and the wind howls at night.
I wish i could escape it, but i can't. I want to and can't, i have to live through the season as it comes. I have to witness it at its worst and see the winter season drag on for what seems like a long time to it's end.
The end of it is what i look forward to, every year, when the time that the earth awakens once more, with life anew again, breaking the silence of winter, or as i call it the dead season.
Winter has a stark beauty all it's own when it first shows itself when the snow flies, and covers the earth in its blanket of white, that takes away all the sounds that were heard all through summer and fall, before the chill came late in fall as it does every year at this time.
Daya are short, nights are long They're almost too quiet, as i said the sound can and is deafening in this silent season of cold and snow. Even as a child i never found winter to be a season to be enjoyed. I never liked it, never liked snow or being cold.
What was i to do? I could do nothing but wait, for the springtime to come I couldn't wait to see the flowers come up out of the ground, that was always the first sign that spring was soon to come, as it does every year at the end of winter, as the cycle goes on and on.
