Fall's New Beginning...

When we're young someone who thinks they're doing a great job teaches us the difference between being young and being a grown up. We dance through life dreaming about becoming an adult because it sounds and looks like freedom. Through those young child eyes it seems like getting to that point of life solves all the problems and the cruel riddles of being a young person. It feels like somehow, we'll have all the answers and from that time on things will stay the same. We will stay the same. The adults in our lives fail to tell us that we are constantly changing, forever on a journey to discovering ourselves and the limitless possibilities of who and what we can be. As wise as these adults are they forget that we are made of nature, each season being up something new, while laying others to rest. So, with the beginning of Fall is this a season of bringing forth the new or burying the old?

Not long ago

I thought myself as nothing.

Today

I think myself a dragon.

The one that burned itself from the inside,

Chewed it’s way out,

And gave birth to it’s wings in

Mid air.
