Seasons are changing and so am I

And so the snow rushes to the ground

and time tries to keep up with the pace

but little do you and I know

it is now December.

Autumn’s farewell will soon come

with a feeling so bitter yet so warm,

and a whisper so soft you could only hear

if you listen closely,

‘see you next year.’

It is now December.

Red, orange, yellow…

a mix of leaves so beautiful

and all covered in snow.

Like friends you haven’t seen in a long time,

the colours embrace each other

with a hug so tight yet so sweet,

as they begin to realize

it is now December.

As I pace down the streets,

crystal snow dances

to the melodies of the upcoming season,

leaving small traces of footprints 

on my scarf, my hat, my gloves

and winter comes strolling in

with a speech so confident you could clearly hear

from afar,

‘I am here for you.’

It is now December.

Once upon a time,

I wished for static change

because I didn’t want the uncertainty to absorb me

instead

I received constant change

because the uncertainty simply wanted to befriend me.

The seasons soothe me,

‘don’t be afraid,

you can’t avoid change

but you can embrace it.

Take tiny steps,

take it day by day,

and take it easy.’

Autumn reminds you and I–

it is okay to be different,

it is okay to dream (in colour),

it is okay to change,

it is okay.

Winter comforts you and I–

it is okay to feel confused,

it is okay to feel lost (like snowflakes dancing into the uncertainty), 

it is okay to feel,

it is okay.

It is now December.

You and I–

let’s welcome December with open arms, shall we?
