Before the Frost

Fall

is yawns and

a general

slowing-down of time.

The world is dipped in molasses

and comes out 

stickier

but sweeter than ever before.

And we,

in the world,

seem to speed up because of it.

Time feels rushed 

as we hurry 

trying to get more done,

to set new goals

before the year ends.

But really,

we need to slow down

and appreciate 

the sweetness

of the world

before the first

powdered-sugar frost 

appears.

    Mist

    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.

    Pushing

    We all push ourselves for something

    we push

              for achievement

              for recognition

              for forgiveness

    After Thanksgiving

    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.
