Poem of Autumn and Winter

Just finished making cookies. I had thought of a good blog post, but then I kinda forgot what it was and am now just sitting here, staring at the white, wasting my time.


I'm hopeless!


Ah, I'm listening to Stolen by Dashboard Confessional right now...such a beautiful song, and conveying my feelings about Spring so acurately. Now, I wish I could find a Winter song that is as beautiful as this one! 


I remember when I sat up in the hallway and listened to Stolen over and over again...it was just magical, as magical as when after Conference 2009 I listened to Clean Up Your Eyes by the Dykeenies over and over...just remembering what I had done and how much pure fun I had had.


I love summertime and springtime, but I want to be able to remember and love Autumn, too. I think the song that has conveyed September this year is Cry by Mandy Moore. October? I'm not sure; I guess something about the beach! Then, of course, November...I don't have a song for Autumn yet, I suppose! I'll keep looking! Maybe something beautiful will show up!


I wrote a poem about Autumn, here it is-

Bursting with color

I can't believe what he brings me

Baskets of wishes

And the possibilities that be

He greets me with a smile

He is one of my best friends

And holds out his hand for a while

Till the bright daylight ends

His sweater is tied

Around his middle

His t-shirt is tie-died

Red and stained a little

His hair is the color of fire

His eyes a playful green

I know my situation is dire

For his motifs cannot be seen

Taps on my window, never my door

Though I know he'll eventually go

The running and hiking will not be a bore

I'll muse upon it when the wind does blow

The coldest wind sweeps in from the West

Sending snow in, and chills up my spine

The sprite from before who seemed like the best

No longer lingers in this life of mine

I wonder, where has he gone?

The happy and bright

Fun-loving, carefree, thoughtful one

Fading from sunset into night

So while I stand in the cold and freeze

No longer a gentle nip,

The moment he does seize

To whisper of Autumn, just a bit

And even though the leaves are gone

Crunching under my boot-clad feet

He still manages to whistle a light song

And I am so glad we were able to meet

Autumn is playful to me. So disappointing to some, but to me...ah, he plays with my very heart. One day is bright, warm and enchanting, the next cold and dreary and sometimes so lonely...but each moment is so special, no matter the happiness or heartbreak. So I wrote this like a love story. Kinda. XD Autumn is also the month of my birthday. I though about writing this about another girl, but please...only women as seasons is just...too stereotypical for me! ^.^

Ah, even if things do seem hard right now, I'm excited about the rest of the year!!!!  December sounds hopeful...

We didn't get to see the meteors for my birthday, but we'll hopefully get to go in December, so that's one reason why I'm so excited! ^.^
