Anticipated Tears In Welcome of Autumn.

I mentally travel in circles trying to find an emotion that best describes my solitude. It makes me laugh when I hear that word. Solitude. Maybe that isn't the correct word I'm looking for.

The sun beats down heavily on the city as we try and prepare ourselves emotionally, fashionably and mentally for the cold months that lay ahead. We are ants working hard, thinking of our future as well as trying to secure our present.

My mind drifts off for a moment in silence, subconscious spinning while the conscience level remains suspended in time and space.

Then it hits me: this is not solitude, this is isolation. I am isolated from my passions. I have washed up all the anticipation for my future and turned my present into a desert of uncontrollable ennui for life's mysterious adventure.

Why has my heart given up? Why has my heart dried completely while my eyes descry a message from the pain that propels my heart to continuously beat?

Anticipated tears in welcome of autumn.

"Anticipated tears in

"Anticipated tears in welcome of autumn"... I like that phrase. As if... we are forced to endure winter, to pass time, to cycle through seasons and pass through life... if we did not welcome it, it would come anyway. It's an odd little emotion then. Welcoming the isolation because we must, and yet knowing that in the end, there is renewal, or the potential for it (should we welcome it...)

Winter Cold Isolation

Thanks for reading my poem. I was in a fart type of mood when I wrote it. I mean, I never have wanted to be alone in the fall. That makes me feel like I'll be alone during the winter. And it's so cold during the winter!!
