autumn's embrace

as fall starts rolling in

and summer slows to a stop

i like to imagine many things, 

everything, nonstop

i imagine the sweet, sweet song of hooting owls after dark

i dream of chai tea lattes with pumpkin cold foam in the park

i think of how the sun's golden rays dance through my window sill

while gentle winds whisper secret songs of fun and thrill

pumpkins light up doorsteps, decorated to your desire

i sit in a sweater with my homework, on the couch, right by the fire

embracing the beauty that autumn brings

and the songs that nature sings

we find much needed love and peace

that brings our souls release

  • But then

    i haven't written in five months,

    and i regret it every day

    my room is a mess,

    but i don't know where to start 

    the homework is piling up,

    and my perseverance is dwindling

    i need to practice more,

  • anticipation

    i remember my first day of middle school

    i was wearing washed-out jeans and a t-shirt from Target

    my short brown hair was parted to the side

  • To my sister

    my sister is the most beautiful person i have ever laid eyes on

    inside and out, 

    she is impeccable.

    she is the most generous, selfless, kind woman i have ever met

    whether she's 10 minutes or 10 hours away,
