I calmed down after feelings of sparkling,
full of water, and wild, and spring;
after deceptive, briefly happy,
youthful love had flown away...


I calmed down after summer hopes,
had burned the heart to white;
after countless hurt longings,
hidden somewhere in the July sunset...


Today I am autumn---wise and mature,
survived both spring and summer...
I'm November, colorful...But whole...
Rich with love and hopes...
