Impression Evergreen: Christmas Time in the Rockies – Let it Snow

It’s been frightfully cold in Evergreen

 

The wind won’t stop howling,

the forest is cloaked in a mysterious light.

Somber foothills are set against,

majestic mountains of a ghostly white.

The weather in Evergeen can be scary,

that’s what makes the seasons such a treat.

Especially the summers,

they’re oh-so-sweet.

This December,

it’s been frightfully cold.

Just look at the thermometer,

it says eighteen below.

The gusts blowing down through the meadow,

will make your bones ache.

Under gray clouds drifting,

old boots blaze a trail to the frozen lake.

Up here,

you learn to live with extreme weather.

The summers are short,

persistent winters seem to last forever.

Don’t be afraid,

artistic storms paint with a thick impasto.

It’s Christmas time in the Rockies,

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
