crystals falling down my face
in the middle of the summer
seems ironic,
no?

how can one be sad during
this season?

when the flowers shine as
brightly as the warm sunshine,
kids scream and giggle in utter joy,
adults complain of the unbearable heat,
sprinklers spray cold water to keep the
grass happy and refreshed,

how can one feel so cold when
outside is so hot?

the only thing i look forward to
is the warm and bright nights,
when the silver moon shines so bright
as if it is there to comfort and caress you
when you need somebody the most,

the stars scattered across the sky near
the bright orb, as if they are her trusted companions,

how can someone love something that doesn't breathe or eat or laugh?

i ask myself that every night when the
moon comes out to play after the rowdy
sun is put to rest under the hills,

i don't want to be sad anymore,
especially not in the summer,

how do i fix this?
do i have to wait until the fall?
the winter?
the spring?
and then repeat?

the fall is when i feel my best,
layered clothing,
chilly but not enough to hurt
my fragile bones,
when i feel my most creative and
most romantic,
when it's acceptable to
drink more than one cup of coffee,
when you feel the heat radiating off of bonfires,

the winter is when i feel loved,
family and friends gathered around for
every holiday and every party,
the warm scent that i will never know to describe but somehow matches the
feeling i have inside me during
the winter,

the spring is when i feel alive,
the weather still cool but the sun shines
shyly behind fluffy clouds,
everything is welcomed in the spring;
the animals, the flowers, the smiles,
my favorite flowers bloom
in the spring while i slowly wither away
into the summer,

i hate summer.

with love, luna.
