In the Autumn


Everything begins again.

Over and over, the seasons come and go,

however, the canopy of leaves strikes more beautiful

in the Autumn.

And the best feeling

is a cozy one,

wrapped up in a blanket sipping hot chocolate.

And because I believe that the best way to live is poetically,

I would be unconvinced of any other notion but that of Autumn being the most fiery, but gentle time,

and the warm tint glazed over the chilly air makes the world safer

like warmth surrounding the cold.

And the hot chocolate, donuts, and cider may only be good for your soul, but I would argue your soul is the most important

for Autumn is the proof that change can be beautiful.

  • Ineffable

    As powerful as words can be,

    there are some moments,

    some feelings,

    When just trying to define them-

    To tether them to the words that can be so powerful-

  • Who we are

    You may stand up on a pedestal and teach people about life if that makes you whole.

    Perhaps it will make another whole to listen

    You can be wise and filled with deception all the same.

  • Full

    Beautiful minds.

    Hearts burst.

    Filled up,

    Slowly bled dry

    Bled “safe”

    Become functioning once more,

    Again.
