I fall in Autumn

I cry in Winter

I long for in Spring

It all ends in the Summer.


This idea is more felt every time than every year.



I don't necessarily go through the seasons like this but I always relate to these seasons with how I feel. When I see the leaves changing and the weather slowly cooling, I am astounded. My mind goes off in a neverending tangent: I wonder exactly how the Earth is tilted; how far is the Sun from me; does it still take eight minutes for the Sun's light to reach me; are the trees starting to feel sad and so their leaves slowly turn brown and fall. Ontologically, I become in awe of the universe and how God beautified the Earth and gifted it human life to be stewarded and loved.



When my emotions overwhelm me and I fall into a slight depression, I get cold and I think of Winter. At the same time, when Winter comes and I find myself alone and cold, I feel the nostalgia of sadness floating above my head. When Spring comes, my head pops up, my ears perk up, and just like a dog, my imaginary tail wags, and I become happy - alone or not, I'm just happy. Inevitably, when I'm happy, I feel warm and pretty like a sunflower.


It doesn't necessarily end in the Summer but this season is filled with socializing; and sunshine; and heat; and happiness; and patience-building. At the same time, Summer feels like the beginning of when you can truly find 100 things to do, forget about your worries and your heartaches.


How do you feel about the change of seasons? I'd love to hear your heart.
