Beautiful Lies

the sunset makes even the darkest things pretty.
like the tears that run down my cheek, glittering in the sun.
or the dangrous thoughts disguised in pink and orange.
even falling apart feels pretty in the fading light.
it is such a strange feeling.
a recipe of love and fear and hate and loss but being so overwhelmed by the beauty..
so overwhelmed that you lose focus of your emtions and they spill
so overwhelmed that you lose grip of your thoughts and they run
as the ground seems to collapse beneath you
pulling your soul from your body
leaving only the eyes 
of a broken girl
reflecting the beautiful sunset.

  • Snow

    Vermont has ways of making things that are harsh and scary beautiful – gorgeous, even!
    Icy roads surrounded by woods that look like they jumped out of a storybook.
    Icicles covered by a soft, white blanket dangle from each branch.
  • John Lewis's legacy

    How can we keep John Lewis's legacy alive?
    A good question that is, sadly, hard to answer.
    People all over the country mistreating others just because of the color of their skin or their culture.
  • Warm Winters

    it's weird
    because Vermont winters
    are cold and harsh
    but feel warm 
    and welcoming
    sitting together watching movies
    and watching snow slowly drift to the ground in the morning
    or in the moonlight when all is quiet
