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
