You know when fall is coming. It washes over you ever so slightly and opens your heart to feel more. More of everything. Nothing is the same. The air shifts slightly, the trees whisper different things to each other, even the sun changes its smile. It become a saddened and fading kind of smile, the kind that makes you appreciate what you have now because everything has its time and will wither away. Sunshine rays kiss you with the most heartfelt goodbyes because they know that their passionate affection wont be enough to warm you. Mornings are crisp, they greet you with promise of chills and remind you that soon, there will be a time for a jacket. You breath deeper, the air fills your lungs, it awakens your soul. It opens your eyes and sharpens your mind towards the beauty of this fleeting world. Be still, and listen to the way earth is hibernating. It is also slow. Ah, be amazed. This time, let the melancholy wash over you and let your heart bleed from the sorrow of everything ending but in that, starting everything anew. There is beauty in sadness and it makes us all feel more alive in the end.
