Hygge, loosely translated, is a Danish word meant to describe a feeling of comfort, contentment, and coziness. Write about a person, place, or experience that produces this feeling in you. (Fun fact: There is no equivalent word in the English language!) [Photo by Mya Burghardt, YWP archive]
there is no better feeling
then being with
the ones who make me smile
by just being alive
the way they know who i am
and embrace that
no matter what the world says
they are my cousins
parents
meet me in the dream where the windows open onto bird flight
with sparrows flitting shadows across the room,
I want to pick blueberries with my mom again
Sunlight warming my cheeks
Her gentle hands touching me
Tasting the sweetness of both the fruit and her words
When the wind is an icy hug,
and the snow is a blanket, holding the ground snug,
when the trees no longer sway, rocking back and forth,
and a fire is ablaze next to a comforting hearth,
December, in my opinion, is the best of the winter months. It comes with many things like Holidays, time off of school, and especially the ski season.
