“Breath of Fresh Air”
Standing in the center of total darkness, unknowingly surrounded by 4 walls,
on a hot summer’s day with no breeze at all,
when all of a sudden, a beam of light begins to seep through the walls,
the brightest gleam reflects off the opposite wall like a 45 degree angle,
no snow covered grounds, no air, for 276 days straight,
any angle would’ve seemed like the right angle,
It was followed by a breath of fresh air, which felt like the baddest winter ever had,
but bad meaning good, and not bad meaning bad, but damn was I glad,
to find one with endless potential of making it last,
such a far cry from the rest that had tainted my past,
Allow me to give you a glimpse of the pain,
at first there was spring, who bought nothing but rain,
She was so controlling, wanting nothing more than power,
if I recall correctly, her name was April Showers,
By the end of that relationship everything was so torn,
I just thanked the Lord I survived that storm,
Then came summer, who reminded me a lot of spring,
qualities…they shared a bit of the same, just minus the rain,
but there was no breeze for me to claim,
Don’t get me wrong, at times she shined so bright, but by the fall of night,
Party after party, dark lenses in the Louis Vuitton frames, she was just not the same,
She couldn’t see it from my point of view,
so I explained; if anybody feels you…I feel you,
I look past the reflective tints to see the real you,
13 days later, Sky Blue and I didn’t last at all, not even enough memories to reminisce,
so when July 4th came, we both celebrated our independence,
How can I forget about Autumn Brown, she made me fall hard in love,
Or at least that’s what I thought and every thought that crossed my mind,
questioning myself, was it this easy to find?
my conscious replied; “not at all unlikely, but just take your time,”
Take my time…she did, in every shape form or fashion,
at every outlet store purchasing the latest fashions,
I guess the season of fall was self explanatory…how you ask?
On my face I had to fall, on my knees I had to crawl, before I could get to my feet and walk tall,
in order to rise above overall, understanding why I had to go through what I went through,
learning a priceless lesson of knowing how to observe what is true,
from deep within, just a coincidence that’s the same day that winter begin,
Wendy Snow would show up everywhere, no matter where I went, she was there,
As time went by I got to know her, and got to show her, our encounter was long overdue,
A breath of fresh air, it was just so you,
nothing else could compare, it was so brand new,
After 89 days, I felt this could last forever, but in the inevitable change of the weather,
She up and vanished like the wind,
and now I gotta wait 276 days to have this feeling again.
