Everything. You. Are.

I am becoming aware and utilizing my realizations, my emotions,
my deeper feeling inner-self hopefully appropriately by embracing myself instead of fighting myself.
Make sure you allot yourself enough alone time to fully submerge into your thoughts.
You're allowed to analyze your feelings, your thoughts, your actions.
You're allowed to question your being because that is where you may find your unraveling pieces.
Do not pull them in, do not collect yourself; instead follow them.

Let your strings get snagged on people you love; strangers.
Let them pull you and open you, let yourself travel in pockets,
let yourself make homes in nests, reflect there.
Hanging from trees unburdened.
Speak through falling leaves.
Float on warm breath during cold evenings
and the sighs in between kissing your lover.
Cling to held hands and on the eyelashes of smiling children.
Breathe in what you've analyzed.
Examine what you've picked apart and only keep the pieces that will continue to be beneficial to your relationship with yourself and your future self.

Let the rest pour out.
Lend your hand when you see others doing the same as they recognize their own journeys.
Every thing will be alright.
Not because you want it to be,
but because everything becomes something and that is better than nothing.
Keep moving forward.
You are needed. Embrace yourself.

Now

The leaves perform their wardrobe changes,
the air is crisp with subtle bouts of heat wafting throughout,
the warm sun happily beaming down;
crunchy, softening grounds.
Everything riddled with unexplained nostalgia.
But October... oh October.
The thinning of the veil.
You have no idea how desperately you appreciate life until you have sat in awe of how astounding it is as it passes to the other side.
Recycled souls.
Life starts now.
Autumn is our chrysalis,
encased in kaleidoscopic layers,
whirring through our wintered cocoon.
I'll see you come Spring,
delicately spread out and collecting varieties of dripping nectar.
It's time to hibernate.
Collect your nettled leaves,
hold us close to keep us safe.

S.M.
