dear autumn...

dear autumn,

i am so happy you are finally here...

please bring with you,

so much beauty and color,

sweet smells and inspiration,

that i will drink in all your bittersweet moments,

until so satisfied and full,

i'll coast on my drunkenness

all through a creative winter

until your sister spring calls on us again.

and if it's not too much to ask,

don't forget your cooler days and crisper nights.

we are in deep need of relief, to help heal the scars from flooding and high heat.

i welcome your changes

and

trust you will come through for us.

you are most welcome here, dear autumn.

love,

e
