out of the corner of my eye, i almost thought i saw myself smile
something feels like it is lingering in the air today...
something about to drop.
the world has a certain sense of calm,
yet tension,
to it, like a battlefield with two opposing armies on opposing sides,
sizing each other up,
each waiting for the other to make the first move
the trees seem to be trying to hold onto their vibrant colors,
defiantly,
knowing that it will not be long until their leaves vanish
like their companions'.
the world feels sad to me,
and therefore,
oddly comforting,
as if it understands.
the autumnal cold chills my skin, and yet
fails to touch my core;
the clouds weep,
and i weep with them.
maybe that is why i like the fall so much...
it reminds me that i am not alone in my sadness.
the world sighs, then pauses,
holds it's breath,
and begins to do what it knows it must: wait.
