6pm
Black coffee
Leaves shaking
Shorter days
Cool breeze
Warm rays
Goosebumps
Crow calls
Steady traffic
Light sweater
Closed eyes
Exhale summer
Leaves shaking
Black coffee
6pm

Night hues take over the sky.
I sit loosely draped in the night air.
Soft soundtrack of distant laughter.
Evening bliss.
Wind gently brushes
the hair from my eyes.
In the same breath
it initiates an evening dance
with the trees.

What I would do
to turn my seconds into minutes
and live in the space between them
Turn the moments inside out
and take them all in
Absorb the beauty
and passion they hold
Keep you with me
as the minutes turn into hours
and join the days gone by
Night magic
Tree silhouettes
Sinking sun
Leaves lose their crispness
as the sky reveals its fiery layers
Earth and sky alternate
basking in the sun's brilliance
The evening breeze through the leaves
brings stillness to life
I am swaying to the rustling symphony
of tiny dancers and road travellers
Sinking sun
Tree silhouettes
Night magic

What if it rains?
Every rainy day that I want to go for a walk, I find myself asking this question. But when there's a break in the clouds, I put on my shoes and head outside.
Tonight, I felt a few drops as I turned the first corner and considered turning around, but I kept walking. The breeze was picking up and I could feel the tension in my body lifting.
It ended up being one of the most peaceful evening walks I've had in awhile. Everyone else must have looked outside.
What if it rains?
