Fall is Full of Soul

Fall is here.

And it came much faster than I expected.

Nothing about it eased in.

A jump.

A chill.

A reminder of why we are all here.

It made me think about why I love these crisp months so much.

It’s the soul of it.

The desire to wander, romanticize, yearn,

and love.

It’s easier to accept someone or something

that has grown and perfected their form.

Or someone about to bloom,

with a heart meant for the budding months.

And in some ways,

you know it’s too late with the cold,

when someone has dwelled

and decided to finally move on.

But it’s harder to accept

what’s in change or in flux.

Who has made peace with letting go

and focusing on their soul.

Fall is for those who look inward

and realize the best work they can do

is truly understand themselves.
