Upstate Treasure

The cool crisp smell of the fresh mountain air. 
The breeze from the elevation brushing against my hair.  
I stand out on the deck holding ginger ale in my glass, 
Admiring the sea of green grass,
Stretching as far as the eye can see. 
In that moment, I feel as happy as I can be.  
Catskills is a beautiful place to visit.
It gives you a piece of heaven, even if it’s just a snippet. 
Standing outside, a pin drop can be heard from a mile away. 
My siblings and I walk outside and ask me if I want to go play, 
In the vast field of sweet nature. 
In my mind, there is no feeling greater.  
At night, we go to the town-famous “T-Bar,”
Where I order wings that might be better in my head than they actually are. 
Back at the house, we finish the night with Uno and The Office. 
My siblings and I learned to love the duo like our parents before us.  
At night, I sleep upstairs in the crispy- cool carpeted room. 
I need a good night’s rest before the trip can resume. 
When I wake up, I am not in heaven on Earth. 
I’m at my computer, typing, moving my fingers back and forth.
