FAMILY SYRUP SEASON
October 18, 2016
Trees provide sweet syrup,
as a family packs for travel.
Trees continue for miles,
as a family travels far north.
Steel strikes trees,
as a family impresses another.
Trees drip sap,
as a family dusts off memories.
Pots boil,
as a family banters about politics.
Sap thickens,
as a family sits by the fire.
Sap distills for purification,
as a family shares stories.
Sap darkens,
as a family departs for rest.
Syrup takes form,
as a family packs for travel.
Syrup cools on a rack,
as a family says goodbye.
