the first snow
always elicits a sense
of wonder
in me
a feeling that
everything is new again
and that the world
is being reborn
entering a new phase
in its annual cycle
of growth
the first snow
transforms
even
dirty, tangled, old
tree branches
into something
fresh and mesmerizing
again
that calms
and inspires
and fascinates
everyone.
Misting
slowly, a dusting of pearly droplets
coats the world.
each one lands separately,
but over time, they all combine.
joining forces
melting together
to overtake the earth.
We all push ourselves for something
we push
for achievement
for recognition
for forgiveness
The month
(ish)
of time between Thanksgiving
and December 25th
is
undeniably
the best season.
Everyone is joyous
despite their
close-to-frostbitten noses
here in Vermont.
