on missing London.

Freedom

Rainy February mornings on Westminster Bridge
are be challenging for crossing tourists and parliament men in strict black suits.
Passing by, I watch them push their umbrellas forward, shielding themselves from the forceful rain
competing with the winter wind.
Their faces, focusing forward, reflect the dull gray sky.

But I’d rather spin around, hands free, eyes focused on the sky
and let the rain and wind carry me across.
I wonder if I have ever felt as free as I do in London, on Westminster Bridge.
The rain and wind are just a setting my temporary stay in London
and as long as they continue to carry me,
I am free.

Catching up.

I really should be doing my creative writing work, but maybe i'll be inspired after this.

I have a new boyfriend. His name is Mac. You know, Dell and I just weren't working out. After his mental crash I knew things between us were broken and couldn't be fixed. No hard feelings, but i've moved on.

I discovered this gorgeous park in Valley Forge. I was semi lost at the time but really glad to have found it. I can't wait for the next warm day that i'm free so I can go there and take a walk, do some writing, all that good stuff.

Autumn is here! Autumn and I have a love- hate relationship. I love the quaintness of fall, the colors of the leaves, apple cider, cinnamon scented candles, pumpkin picking, scaring myself at haunted hayrides, sweaters, and such. I dislike the mood swings I get from thinking about change and getting nostalgic (although they do give me ideas for poems).
Anyway, things to look forward to this week:

Claire coming this weekend!
Cooking/eating all the yummy food I bought today
The season premier of Brothers and Sisters!

Alright, back to work!
