#cold months

I miss you.

I miss your longer nights and colder days. I miss the hazy sunsets and the storm clouds holding the promise of rain and the slow and beautiful death of the trees and I miss wearing sweaters and snuggling with my pets and bracing myself against the brisk wind and getting caught in downpour and dewy grass and muddy puddles and the marvelous crunch of leaves and everything that you are and you become and you bring, I adore, and I miss you.

Something in my soul shrivels up and dies during the warm season, something that is revived with the showers of fall. Something that comes back to life with each frigid breeze and each leaf turned orange or red or purple and brown.

Please Autumn, won’t you join us a little sooner?

Won’t you grace us with your calming presence? You’re like a balm to my sun-burnt skin. You’re like a gasp of fresh air after choking in smoke. You’re like a deep stretch after waking up from a fitful, never ending sleep.

You feel so good and so right and there’s not a single thing I wouldn’t do to have you join us now. Please, won’t you come and join us a little bit sooner?
