Everything I Love

The ride up the mountain

The thousands of trees

The pine and bark

Smell

Makes me feel

Like I am

Relaxed and calm

The rain pattering

Against the window

The shower steam against my

Warm hot skin

Its smells like

A clean start

Leaves falling

With the snow

Is a wonderful sight

Sliding down the soft

And slick slopes

Going up the bright

Red gondola
