Silly Seasons

And so the first rain pours down late one Autumn afternoon Waiting for it in vain, its arrival is also a confirmation of many cold months ahead in the southern hemisphere Another sunset of summer and sunrise to winter Let's not forget, we need a winter to rest, reset and for spring to bring new promises This year, like many other, winter brings a chill of another sort, a chill of rememberence Zappy isnt the first emotion in the cold, wet and grey weather For Im a girl of the sun: sea, sun, beaches, nature - that's what my being crave Outdoor days soaking up the sun which sets my soul alight Rather be wearing sundresses than sweatpants True that we need this rain, this dull season to create and bring forth new life Heat, for now artificial, as the sun is mostly light without warming my cold hands and feet Eagerly Im awaiting spring and its fragrant flowers and fresh new leaves Not all can become without good and bad - balance is much needed It's days like this that I miss people that Ive not even met Going the distance to find myself where Id much rather cross an ocean to find you or shouldnt I even bother Hello I'd say as warmth return to my limbs, leaving my cheeks flushed with excitement This a season to forget the past, focus on the present, dream about the future and what a new season may bring People change just like seasons, and for now Im a bit confused as to the stance Surely wish to read words from your heart to accompany these cold days

Yolanda, I like your philosophical musings and all the metaphors you use to depict human emotions: cold/warm, dark/light, rest/active. I, too, feel that winter is an opportunity to rest and restore, just as summer is an opportunity to be under the sun enjoying long days. "Balance is much needed", and the seasons and sunrise/sunsets of life provide just that. Nicely worded ~ John
