Finally, Its Here - Random Writing

Crisp leaves crunch under foot as the fresh scent of Autumn air wafts by me. Its the scent of peaceful death and rebirth, the scent of hot coffee, cinnamon and other sweet and spicy herbs, the scent of pumpkin pie and apple cider. Out of all the seasons we endure in a year, this one is the easiest to breath in. It rushes into our lungs with a welcome zest. As if I'd been asleep all year long and only just been awoken; like taking a deep breath of eucalyptus when you're feeling stuffy and tired.

My lungs expand with a loving exaltation, wanting to embrace more of the scents and freshness of the season. The leaves are changing from green to gold, red, and a dusty brown. How strange is it, that seeing the death of life all around me makes me feel so good? Is it the beauty of it all or the knowing it will return that makes me so excited? To watch the earth expire in such grace...its truly spectacular.

With a scarf of burgundy and gray wrapped meticulously around my neck, and a forest green coat draped over my shoulders, I feel a childish joy fill me because now, now I can break out my cold weather clothes. As odd as this may be, I don't mind the chill that whisks past my open coat and swirls around my sides. My white long sleeve shirt, though thin enough for the breeze to slip through, gently rustles in the breeze. My skin prickles with the sudden chill, but in an exhilarating joy I shiver against it.

I want to spread my arms out to my sides, tilt my head back with my eyes closed, and just twirl around. Letting my black boots take me wherever they may on this fine, glorious, beautiful, Autumn day.

And all I can think in this moment of contemplation, to do just that, is of how thankful I am that it's finally Autumn.
