I Smell The Winter Coming

I step out in the sun and the heat doesn't kill me. I'm wearing my leather boots which are longer than what the normal is. The iPod is on and it's playing the song i heard last year for the first time in these days. It played it on shuffle. It's almost noon and I'm on my way to the laundry to get the clothes done. The sun rays are modest and the grass is long and not fresh, but green. It feels so light to be out like this. The air smells so great. It's sweet and warm at the same time. It's not the spring scent. It's fall now. The trees are starting to show the beauty of their death; They look so colorful and majestic.



I miss my friends. I just got done with my high school boarding school and i miss going to the cafeteria with them. Lazy Sundays. Reading the newspaper and sleeping in the sun with the mattress out in the fields. Oh, How i love the sun! It's like it remembers what i need and what time makes me feel. The warmth is so light. And the breeze is so gentle and cold; yet it feels good. The sun shines on me and i drench in the memories of the past. The air's scent; it's so loving. And then i see where it's heading. I can feel it. The nuts are starting to be sold in the markets, the vintage stalls are filling up with thick materials, the clothes are drying late, the birds are starting to chirp quitely and the iPod is starting to play those songs!

And then i recognize the smell. I smell the winter coming :)
