Autumn

Autumn 

The smell of fall breaks through the hot sweaty summer air.

I see the trees start to lose their leaves and turn a bright red and orange. 

The area is sweet and sugary like the apple cider donuts stacked on the shelfs that are gone within seconds. 

I love the fall but the summer sweeps me up and turns my skin a crisp brown.

It brings me peace to sit in the sun with my sunglasses on and reading a romance novel.

In the fall there is a brisk breeze that gives me shivers down my spine. 

The time of year where I start to wear sweaters and my chestnut brown Uggs. 

I do love the summer but the outfits that come with fall weather fill my stomach with excitement and anticipation to dress up and be comfy. 

Hot apple cider and pumpkin picking trying to find the most perfectly round pumpkin only to come out with a lopsided corky pumpkin that matches me perfectly. 

Watching fall fade away and the leaves turning to a dull brown feeling sadness. 

 My heart knows that shortly around the corner comes winter.  

The first snowfall is enthralling but as time goes on and the day becomes shorter I start dreading the heavy snow and freezing weather. 

I wish fall was longer.

 I could sit in the leaves as the tip of my nose becomes a bright red because it is the tiniest bit too cool and watch the sun fall beneath the trees as the sky turns a ravishing red and orange. 

Driving with my windows cracked singing to my R&B music on full blast.

Fall is peaceful,

It makes me feel quiet inside. 

I wish I could sit here a little longer, 

Capture the moments in my brain to feel forever.

Breathe it in a little longer. 

But part of the beauty of fall is how quickly it all fades away. 

Waiting desperately for the next year to come around so I can feel all of the buzz again.

 Until next fall.
