august morning on the back porch
cidades are growing quieter each day and soon they will announce the last of summer
at the same time autumn will be swirling in with gusts of wind announcing her arrival with fallen leaves and chillier nights.

alayna has been here the last 2 nights. its been girls night on the couch, reading and cuddles and some upsets along the way with fallen tears. im now ready for quiet and peace. however tonight i will be spending down at the river with the bestie, shooting and listening to the Quad City Symphony Orchestra belt out tunes of the Beatles. summer activities for the year are winding down quickly.
but that seems to be how summer is. she comes in slowly and leaves quickly.
the same with autumn. but winter she stays on much longer.

another shooting in are city yesterday morning.
i just can't wrap my head around the all the violence that is taking place in the world today.
i long for the 'old days' when i was a child and life was much easier then.
im feeling old and my body tells me so with her aches and tiring bones at night.
life is so very short

everything changes. every day brings new changes and i struggle against them but it does no good, they come anyway no matter how loud i protest.
the changes come and the days run into one another
almost like a sentence without a period, without an end.
i grab at any little piece of laughter i can find
but it never stays long enough.
