The perks of a temporary life

the change of seasons

do you remember,
when the cold winter breeze
kept coloring your face red
and you always forgot your gloves
to protect your hands &
when you wished, the warm
summer sun would finally arrive,
it wouldn't.

and spring was also no comparison
to the warm summer sun.
you wished for it to arrive,
but it wouldn't.

and then it did.
and you spent most of your
time by doing things.
the salty sea saw you,
roadtrips made your heart
melt,
white wine with sparkling
water and a taste of malibu
on your tongue,
you danced till the day arrived,
you went to parades and met
new people,
your own party was a mess;
but so is your mind.
working days were boring,
sometimes the nights after were
too tempting for not going out
for roadtrips and shopping trips
to ikea because somehow your mind
told you, you needed a cactus.

but temporary as everything is,
the leaves started to fall down
making no sound,
until the weather was turning
colder and then you realized
the change of the season.
autumn. sweater weather.

it's always the same
and keeps going on until
the end of time.
the change of seasons is
a change of heart sometimes.
for the good. for the bad.

things keep changing. and you can't stop them
from changing but you can control your thoughts and attitude about them.
