The season where bristly seeds and briars
Stick in hair and snag on clothes
Outside library windows
Learning what is means for the wind to whistle
Glimpsing hope and conviction
From the life that surrounds me
Despite the state of the world
and the state of myself
Reminding me that,
as stagnant as I feel,
I am still moving forwards
headed towards a destination
That will meet me when I get there
But for now the scents and sensations surrounding me
And the sight of the sun rising slowly in the East
Seeming to ask how it is that hope can fade
while the sun is so beautifully rising?
Asserting peace from its domain far beyond me
And my search for happiness
Telling me that happiness is now,
Offering me in a single gesture
what I have spent a lifetime searching for
inviting me to leave behind the comforts I have evaporated myself into
To wrench myself from the jaws
Of a world that would drive you to always take control
Promising what you are looking for
is on the other end of this battle against life
which we are all fighting,
frozen in it’s eternal standstill
at the ****** of its brutal sorrow
And for a time, I accept the suns invitation
I forget that there ever was a road to follow
And am overcome with a love of life
