Prompt: A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
Season of Change
Like the Autumn trees,
I go through change.
Mood bluer than the sky,
gravity pulling me down
like the crisp leaves
who are destined to be crunched
by leather shoes.
But I am more than
the leaves that I shed,
I'm the whole tree
that needs to root myself
until the next sun shines
and greener leaves sprout.
Inspiration
Autumn often brings Seasonal Affective Disorder. I often struggle with change, and seasons are one of those changes that are hard to navigate.
The change in temperature, change in daylight. When I see Autumn-based pictures, that's where my head goes to. It's odd how a warm, orange colour can evoke the opposite, cold feeling. Perhaps because I've grown in Mediterranean where Autumn is the most Wintery feeling.
This is the first poem I've written in a couple of months, and I enjoyed doing this for the freewrite! #pic1000
