seasons

warm summers still feel
too far away, as if i could
reach for it in my palms
but it slips right away

cold winters feel far too
close, as if never-ending
it always snows

spring is closer, but still
not here, little buds still
nesting under the frozen
soil

who knows how fast the
seasons change, i guess
it's just up to nature

  • End of school year stuff :)

    As we slip into summer break, I just wanted to express that school in the past year in the pandemic has been incredibly difficult and that everyone here deserves time to themselves this summer to do things that you love!
  • changes

    the world seems to always be changing
    you grip onto one thing but then it slips
    right from your fingers

    life can be 
    static
    monotone
    predictable

    but it can also be
    dynamic
    ever-changing
    chaotic
  • spring is near

    the sun is coming out quickly
    and doesn't leave too soon
    the buds haven't began to blossom
    the trees look a little bare
    but there's a warm-ish breeze in the air
    that tells me spring is near
