It's Autumn now.

Coffee beans are the scent of life.

She finds herself flowing into the wind

Yet she knows she won't find what she's looking for.

The breeze feels like a distant memory

because it's soft and timid like her childhood.

Sometimes she talks to trees.

Maybe it's because she feels they're listening.

Unseen ears, and mind, and soul

absorb her feelings and hear her story well enough.

But they don't answer

when she's stuck at a crossroads.

and so she decides to run down 

the middle path of indecisiveness.

And as she runs, she is greeted 

with a sweet and sour dose of unreality.

her eyes are hearing and her ears are seeing

and she finally realizes that that fiery feeling in her heart is anger dispelling;

and the hurt and the pain are buried so deeply

even she isn't quite sure where they are.
