From the Ashes
I woke up pretty easily today
the weather is perfect and the cool breeze helped me open my eyes
in more ways than one.
I made coffee (with ground cloves) as is my new fashion.
Propped up the old turntable on the kitchen table,
let mumford and sons blare through the house as my coffee gurgled and spat.
I did a bit of laundry and came to sit on my kitchen counter, bowl of cinnamon toast crunch in hand.
And I wondered why all of these new habits, that make me happy
were only recently discovered.
I wonder why I always find these things at the tail end of a major change in my life
I always find things I love as I have to leave them behind,
or worse after they've already left me on their own.
But it's different today, because rather than spending the rest of the day regretting,
I'm making the most of these discoveries and I will sink into those old happy memories
they'll wrap me up like a warm blanket
and these new habits crackle and make dim lights dance on the wall
like a new fire
Please don't let it go out.
Less than 3 months left.
But today is a new adventure, apple-picking in new york with good friends. I love everything about Fall, even the terribly crippling nostalgic parts. Every bit.
"And my head told my heart
"Let love grow"
But my heart told my head
"This time no
This time no"'
