An idea popped into my head and I just ran with it. It's far outside of my usual writing and when I had a couple people read it they loved it. After writing it and reviewing it (several times) I decided it may have 4 parts (Breath of Autumn, Vision of Winter, Taste of Spring and Silence of Summer). It is rather short and that's largely due to when the idea for it came to me I was walking home from the store and stopped in the middle of the road and wrote most of it before realizing I was not in the safest spot ever to continue writing 🤣
Like I said, it's wildly outside of my typical writing (and comfort zone), however I feel it came out mostly ok....
Breath of Autumn
I walk in the cool evening. The breath of autumn crosses my lips. Leaving the taste of a summer just glimpsed - as if it brushed me by - bloomed and forgotten like a spring rain.
As I make my travels, I oft look in your direction, or the direction I think you're in. Wanting. Waiting. Wistful with dreams and fervent with hopes you feel the same. In my dreams we dance, not to the song of others, but to our own accord. Wrapped around each other in a tight embrace that even the gods themselves become jealous. Afraid. The ferocity of our love shames the angels as it brings death itself to light.
I want. I wait. Wistful and foolish. Filled with dreams of a time long gone. Like winter, you rushed in like a beautiful storm, leaving me breathless, cold and alone.
Yet here I stand. Here I stay. Wistful....waiting....wanting....
