August Mornings

fresh air blossoms at my window,
the warm breeze telling me to step
out. i embrace the blue skies, 
pulling them close to me and 
hoping they never leave. the trees
are still green, but i know they
will change soon. after all, 
life must change right? i hear
the occasional thunder rage
at the door, too scary to watch
but too fascinating to ignore. the
green grass melts across my
backyard, each raindrop pulsing
on the leaves. the earth is a 
beautiful thing. you don't know
when to be angry at it or when
to be happy. sometimes you
wonder what terror the earth has 
in plan next, while other times
you can't imagine the earth being
any more beautiful. sometimes
you want to leave the earth alone
and sometimes you want to help it.
i guess august mornings bring about
a lot of contemplative thoughts within
me. and i think i like that.

  • End of school year stuff :)

    As we slip into summer break, I just wanted to express that school in the past year in the pandemic has been incredibly difficult and that everyone here deserves time to themselves this summer to do things that you love!
  • changes

    the world seems to always be changing
    you grip onto one thing but then it slips
    right from your fingers

    life can be 
    static
    monotone
    predictable

    but it can also be
    dynamic
    ever-changing
    chaotic
  • spring is near

    the sun is coming out quickly
    and doesn't leave too soon
    the buds haven't began to blossom
    the trees look a little bare
    but there's a warm-ish breeze in the air
    that tells me spring is near
