First Winter In VermontIt is new to you,
this snow, this ice
that falls and stays,
that does not melt
before the next snowfall,
lying on the ground, white and cold
for stretches of time
you would have once thought unimaginable,
hiding the earth,
hiding the life below,
forcing us all to flee
to the warmth of our houses,
to each other
for a season that turns out
to be the warmest of all.

Hi Tom,
Another new experience! I like how you've turned the idea of the snow into the warmest season.
ooo, no amount of ice and snow can freeze a loving heart...
