I am definitely not crestfallen it is no longer summer here in Texas.
Autumn has always been my favorite season of the year. The leaves falling and turning bronze and to finesse the sentiment, a comforting breeze proceeds to throw me into the wide arms of melancholy. I find that beautiful. I do not regard melancholy to be as gloomy as traditionally depicted. I find the sober thoughtfulness and pensiveness elegant, my angels.
My soul feels beautiful. My inner self feels pure. Yes.
Relieved, even, and smiling at the time I take to become someone I usually am not: an introvert.
The fall for me is a time to recharge. To discard the old and contemplate on the new. To get my wheels turning and churning for my next big message; my next big adventure.
I couldn’t help myself writing a song about these feelings of mine. Even though it’s not bright and shiny outdoors, there are so many other pretty things I notice. And these small things mean so much to me.
So go ahead, dance to this ballad-like song I wrote- out in the woods or in the comfort of your backyard. It’s sweet and it’s meant to cradle the soft part of your heart like a mother rocks a baby to sleep. Pamper yourself. Accept yourself. Renew yourself.
“IT IS NO LONGER SUMMER”

VERSE 1:
It is no longer summer,
Yes, I know
It is no longer summer,
Yes, I know
The mornings are darker and
the evening’s coming to a close
It is no longer summer
Yes, I know
It is no longer summer
Yes, I know
The sun likes to hide itself from me
PRE-CHORUS 1:
Away from me
Just like I’ve done to you
Just like you’ve done to me
We have come to an end
The sunlight’s shy
It barely shows itself
It really can’t decide
If it will stay for me
Who knows in this
Wonderful sentiment
If it will shine
At least one more time for me
Will it really shine for me???
CHORUS:
It is no longer summer
But the beach waves aren’t gone
It is no longer summer
But the stars above still shine
It is no longer summer
But my long, long hair still flows
It is no longer summer
But my heart keeps thriving for you
VERSE 2:
It is no longer summer
Yes, I know
It is no longer summer
Yes, I know
I’ve seen right through the half-truths said of me
It is no longer summer
Yes, I know
It is no longer summer
Yes, I know
The conclusions are skewed and full of flaw
PRE-CHORUS 2:
No need to come back
Not in that manner
Not in that way
I don’t believe you now
The moonlight lives
Ever so boldly
It wants to stay with me
And keep me company
Who knows in this
Wonderful sentiment
If it will bring me light
And stay the whole night
Will it really stay for me???
REPEAT CHORUS
