it brought with it a silence that penetrates my heart

no more do i need to endure these endless nights

with a schorching sun that boths gives me life and keeps me from resting

the white rain washes everything clean

that forcefully shuts everything down so that

we have the chance to rediscover what it means to live well,

to finally confront all these painfull things that have been pushed away in our hearts

while summer was dancing with us and always moving a little too fast for us to catch our breath

autumn was the short and cold period where we had to figure out where we were, who we were, and what we were going to do next

a limbo where we werent ready to let go of summers tireless charm, and were too scared to think about what might come next.

The white blanket that now covers the earth gives me the same feeling as when my mother would tuck me in as a child.
