Dreaming of Fall

I’m dreaming of Autumn,
a time where everything changes.

The Texas heat still lingers, but there is a sense of hope creeping in.
Fall- Halloween and Thanksgiving
Should be coming soon.

Watching football on a Sunday afternoon
Enjoying time with your family,
Playing cornhole in the backyard.
Watching a scary movie in the dark.

The seasons changing, people changing
as they think of a time…
A time where the atmosphere changes,
where people are happier.

Crisp days spent enjoying a sip of coffee,
Seeing the smiles of others as they pass you in the shop.
Rainy days spent inside reading your favorite book.
Waking up to a misty morning, perfect for a sweater.

These are the days I look forward to, and the things I wish to be true.
But, this is not quite the way it is here. 
So, this is why I dream.

I dream of these things that will not come true 
In the full extent here in this small, Texas town;
a town where the heat of summer interferes
with what should be fall.

Fall is but a brief moment in time here
It passes by quickly, but it is 
Just as magical as one could imagine
