Snow in Aarhus

by Dr. Sunil Sharma



The soft Snowflakes Falling down Like cotton balls, Being tossed away, By some invisible hands, From a white sky, Dispersing fast, Like kids returning From school, Happy feet pattering, On the ground, With a sense of release; The drifting flakes, Tiny and cute, Wandering in the crisp air, Vagabond-like, Searching a suitable landing-place, Scattering everywhere around, In a gentle constant stream, On the grey courtyards, Red-bricked buildings, With shuttered windows, Trimmed hedges around, And decorating the solitary urban-scape With a soothing touch of Virgin white! The entire scene A magical country, Transmitting a feeling of peace And wonderment, To an international student, Who has never seen such A mesmerizing sight, In real life, On a Sunday afternoon, Again--- Buried in his management books, Chasing distant American Dreams, Now---globalized in its reach, Like their Big Mac and Disneyland.
