The Beauty of Vermont

The frigid white peaks carve shapes out of the icy blue sky. The diamond-like snow seems to mirror whatever it sees. If you listen closely, you can almost hear what the naked trees whisper to each other in the still of the night. And if you really use your imagination, you can see the snowflakes dance as they flutter down to the already blanketed ground. Its as if they can hear an unknown beat that no human can. Even all of winter has a hard time concealing it and that’s why everything freezes over- to keep it from human ears.

Wondering

Sunset
Lake
Beauty

Love it
Love Vermont
Love life

Reflection
Of sun
On the water

Awesome

I'm wondering
About you
About others

I don't
know why

Or maybe
I do

I miss you

And I don't

I can't
Write more

This is
What I
Know

Snow

Just glancing outside,
a smile glows on
my face.
It makes my day
when we have
a snow day.
Ah, snow,
the best time
of the year.
It's hard to believe
that spring
is just around
the corner.
No more
sledding,
skiing,
snowboarding,
or
snowball fights
for another
year.
Goodbye
Winter Wonderland
