Diary Excerpt #56

The air changed this morning.
It started last night with the wind,
and when I walked my pup in the early morning light,
I felt it.

Fall.
It is here.

Been quietly fading away,
as the light goes early now
and I am no night creature.
Soon, I will just be a shadow.
Who will see?

Have been thinking of battening down,
preparing for the snow.
Food in the basement, hay in the loft,
wood in the barn.
I feel like a squirrel,
anxiously burrowing.

Relief will come when I hope no longer
for something to change.
But I want change,
so so so badly.

Have been wearing my four-leaf clover,
hoping that a bit'a the ole' Irish luck
still runs in me half-blood veins.




It's possible, isn't it?
To actually get what you want?

  2. I agree with dear Thea, IT IS possible. You need to believe and trust and be patient, but you will get what you want.

  4. This is so beautiful. I've been feeling this way, as I watch autumn approach. I adore the fall, but I know it leads to what can be the soul-freezing cold of winter. I think squirrels and bears and other animals have the right idea...


    I believe it is possible. Sometimes, merely knowing what you want is half the battle won.
