Listen to poem:

Hello September

fresh autumn crispness 
fills my lungs in early morn
as thoughts of you
swirl in my head
vagrant stray musings
weigh heavy on my heart

we’re not the youths
we used to be
back when no strings
meant no consequences

yet at the same time
so very little matters
in the grand scheme of things
except in matters of the heart

The last stanza -- a veritable seminar on what matters in love. Three thumbs up. ~ Count Wolf
