Autumn

 It never ceases to amaze me that as soon as the official change of the seasons come, the very next day it looks like a crew went out during the night and started to paint the leaves on the trees and plants with bright, bold colors. I have a love/hate relationship with the fall. On the one hand, I find the change of colors breathtakingly beautiful. On the other hand, I know that we are losing the light and the color from the world very shortly for another five months. It's sad, really, that something so beautiful can herald the coming of something so stark. I miss my sunlight and warm weather. I will miss hearing the birds sing every morning and seeing the sun reflect so brightly off of the lake and the trees. It's almost like mourning the passing of someone close. The diference is that I have the hope and the knowledge that I will see life burst forth, in all it's glory, starting in five months. If I could only close my eyes and sleep from now until then......

  1. This is great. Your writing is improving. It is quite good, especially the descriptive element.Have you ever considered writing whether it be a short story or a book? I imagine, you'd have a lot of good material. I laughed at your description of helping your friend with the computer. I'm not a professional writer, but I graduated from university with an English degree. You have a talent waiting to break out godfather. Continue please.
