Angels of Autumn

I wrote this when I was having a hard time fitting in at school.

Angels of Autumn

They never end, the blizzards that I try to transcend

December descends in my head as a brand new summer ascends

I'm the architect of the forest of smoke and cinders

The fire that once burned so brightly within me has been reduced the embers

Every season takes an eon to change on this lonely road I'm on

Oh heaven show me that I have a place in the light of the sun

Angels of Autumn lead me on to a place where I belong

And fill the emptiness I've held inside for so very long

Raging hailstorms pelt the thin windows of my mind

On this November night my soul is overcome with frostbite

This loneliness has me trapped in a land of permafrost

Can somebody guide me through this snowstorm before I am lost

Angels of Autumn lead me on to a place where I belong

And fill the emptiness I've held inside for so very long

End this dusk and let dawn bleed over the horizon

And show me that I'm not wrong, there's a place where I belong

Kill the burning cold coursing through my veins like black ink

I want to fly wit the other dragonflies

Angels of Autumn lead me on to a place where I belong

And fill the emptiness I've held inside for so very long

End this dusk and let dawn bleed over the horizon

And show me that I'm not wrong, there's a place where I belong

For a teen you are really gifted. I felt this was an older person expressing how his own years corresponded to the passing seasons. Then I saw the next review, looked at your profile and was astounded. You have what it takes to be a good writer. Valentine

Thanks, you're so kind:) My writing wouldn't be anywhere near the level it's at now if it weren't for my 10th grade creative writing/poetry class, which really gave me a chance to find my own style. You're also a very talented writer.

And I have a lot of free time, so I write a lot more than most would consider "normal" lol

[Lyn Anderson]

I really admire the depth and breadth of this piece. This is a tough time, the teen years, like Autumn, leading into winter, it can be a cold and dark journey, but you will get to the other side. You are talented, and tell a story well at a young age.

Thank you for both reviewing my writing and for the compliment:)
