Autumn Thoughts
Gone hath the Spring, with all its flowers, And gone the Summer’s pomp and show, And Autumn, in his leafless bowers, Is waiting for the Winter’s snow. I said to Earth, so cold and gray, “An emblem of myself thou art.” “Not so,” the Earth did seem to say, “For Spring shall warm my frozen heart.” I soothe my wintry sleep with dreams Of warmer sun and softer rain, And wait to hear the sound of streams And songs of merry birds again.

I lost some old friends, but made some new ones in return. I stopped running on a regular basis, and for no good reason either. I started reading (and writing) again. I was hugely satisfied by the comma in my first official paycheck, and each check after that for a matter of fact. And frustrated by not being able to do all of the things I wanted to do this past year. I am so embarrassed that I didn't turn down that one dare. Once again, I listened to my music just a little too loud. Once again, I did not write as often as I promised I would. The biggest physical difference between me last December and this December is a new pair of glasses with some hot pink on the arms. The biggest psychological diffe...
