It's been a while since I've written anything in the way of poetry... I was sitting at my desk the other day though, and this seemed to spill itself onto a random scrap of paper...

Musings From my Window
Green melts to grey
as my eye wanders
the edges of the hills.

Golden foliage draws
me down from the heights,
the splendor of a solitary tree
dressed for the season.

Soon and soon, the garb
will be shed
cast to the ground
to lay about its feet.

I've been realizing how close we are to the end of the year. Even though we have five weeks of classes left, every week-end from here on out is filled. Which means that the weeks are even busier. I keep telling myself that I can, really and truly can, handle everything on my plate, that I will not drop any of the balls that are in the air and speeding up. I've heard that will believe anything so long as you tell them often enough, I just hope it works on one's self.
