• Halycon days

    I am a snowy sculpturer
    Carving waves of welding down the chute

    I spy a young racer
    riding a magic carpet for the first time
    Into the bluebird forest

    A witch floats overhead
    Mesmerizing us with her backflips and wildcat ways
    A chef making pizza nearby devours every bite

    As each dreamer creates their own masterpiece,
    I inhale frosty air
    and transform into a helicopter
    Gliding uphill and experiencing the aerial view
    In all its wonder

    I arrive at the white crown
    And dismount
    A new friend emerges, a snowcat,
    She welcomes me with champagne

    Encouraging me
    to savor each elevation
    and remind me halcyon days are here

    • Snowboarding and skiing arent activities I would typically do but your poem makes me want to try out some snow sports. I love the creativity and the language you use to represent everything you see. Keep writing!

    • I love to rollerblade. How you describe snowboarding reminds me of the freedom and peace I feel when I Rollerblade. The way you describe the way you feel makes me actually feel like I am on the journey with you. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for being part of The Unsealed family. <3 Lauren
