The seasons keep on changing
But these days it feels as though the seasons are changing with me
The promise of spring brings new beginnings
Flowers blooming
And bees buzzing
Decisions of my future and what's to come loom over me like heavy rain clouds of March
Sunny days fill my soul
The warmth reaching into even the darkest parts of my mood
A reminder that summer will soon be here and I won’t
That June and July will come and go
And by August I will be gone with it
The winds of hot summer days will no longer be
No more night swimming
And drives on warm summer nights
Where we watch the sunset over the desert sky
70
69
65?! Days until high school will be over
Only nine short weeks
however many
I can’t help but be somber
After four long years
And sleepless nights
It will all be over
And soon I’ll be away somewhere
Where the journey of my life will only be beginning
Anxiously awaiting to be alone for the first time
In a space where I can truly know the peace that exists within me
And although it is frightening
I know that the world will keep on spinning
Flowers will continue to bloom
And bees will continue to buzz
Once again I will find comfort in the warmth of summer days
Summer drives can continue
Just in a different way
It just won’t be here
It just has to be in another place
