The wind mischievously stings my ears-
The rain softly pelts my skin-
My senses awaken to the moist, autumn leaves strewn about the streets-
Despite the tender, wet nipping-
The world is warm, scattered with fragile sheets of gold-
I see innocence and beauty of the caramel city-
Shielded from the world-
I cling safely around my mother’s neck-
I feel carefree-
Without worries-
The smooth swish of peace flows through my veins…
I never thought my world would vanish-
And it hasn’t~
