Longing

I long for seasons.

Carrying this baby, I am running so hot.
Today the weather was still cool,
the forecast teased rain
and I was sweating.

I long for cold.

I have lived in California my whole life.
I thought this is where I would always be,
but I had a major revelation in April.
A longing to discover somewhere new,
a longing for a place that can provide
what my soul is searching for.
It is going to take time,
but I will get there
someday.

For now,
I'll do an internet search and see if I can find
a dance or two
to bring back the rain.
