I would walk, everyday,
down familiar roads, to a familiar nowhere,
listening to the same sounds,
thinking the same empty thoughts,
embracing the same weather,
and feeling the same nothingness.
then, before I knew it
July had turned to August.
and now I see that as seasons change,
one's feelings can too.
today, the soft sounds of summer ending entered one ear and nostalgic songs of the 70's had entered the other.
patters of rain would occasionally glide down the top of my head
and weight my bangs,
that had curled naturally due to the damp.
I would lift my pale face to the pale sky and the trees cloistered with many shades of green, and I felt so full.
It was as though in that moment, I had learned how to live.
today nature has knocked me off my feet,
it has welcomed me into its arms
and I have taken the chance to embrace it fully.
carefree laughter, a radiant smile,
rhythm and joy filling my body,
every now and again, the earth will join my dance,
catching a hold of my legs and spinning with me through the summer flowers that brush against my soaking legs and tug playfully at my skirt.
I am so in love.
and this has got me thinking:
isn't it crazy,
that we spend so much time and money searching for a place that might give us love, inspiration, happiness,
when maybe all we need to do is step outside our front doors
and embrace the familiar world around us,
see the light in it,
and turn it into a moment we'll never forget.
