Do You Feel Alive?

There's nothing like a crisp cool autumn day to make you feel more alive. I've always thought of fall and spring as my favorite months. The transition months. I love the rain, the crunch of leaves, the sun shining, and the cool breezes. Last night I fell asleep under piles and piles of blankets, wrapped around me tight. It's a wonderful feeling.

Yesterday I found what may be my favorite part of the house. The roof. You see, there's this window that leads out of one of the bathrooms that lets out straight onto a flat part of the roof. And it's just big enough for me to fit through. Yesterday I sat out there, with my iPod in and watched the stars. It's really relaxing.

Well it's been a while. Sorry for the long break. Anyway, here's something to read.

I'm going away for a while,

Don't you worry about me.

I just need to find my place and time

where I am truest to what I see.

Give me a minute, an hour,

the time of day,

to prove to you

that this is the best way.

The road of life

is paved in many a different way

Though they may cross at times,

they are never the same.

we're meant to wander alone,

because that's when we learn how

to cherish those last few sunsets.

I'll be back in the fall

Don't worry about me.

I can't stray too far away,

our paths are intertwined, you'll see.

I'll bring back a story to tell,

You'll have moved on by then

and I'll tell you that I'm well.

But you won't mind too much.

There's a saltwater film

playing in the cinema today.

You can almost taste the sea,

amongst the film of dust

that covers the memories

of those last few sunsets.
