Sun and Rain

Is it the rain that makes me sad or is it the ache of emptiness that once was you?

Perhaps I just need to wait for the sun to return and warm my thoughts.

Wild

All of us have a piece of wild that lives in our soul.

Keep it.

Treasure it.

Love it.

Because it will protect you during war.

Fall

Fall: Where summer’s promises start to break as fast as they were made.

Regrets cling like early evenings watching the sun say goodbyes.

The heat of day starts turning to a dark coolness promising more.

Have we really aged as much as our hearts feel worn or is it just another summer gone in a pile of selfies and beach days?

See you again next year.

Summer is here

It’s here: Summer. With it’s hot days, hotter nights, cold drinks, and broken promises. Be careful out there. -Mandy Ricks
