October SAD

By Erin McGee Ferrell

Written 2019-10-18

Cool, quiet and sad.

Getting ready for winter seclusion.

Aloneness.

Imprisoned by cold.

A moat of ice surrounding this tone castle.

My prince yelling at me and ordering me to love this dark and frozen season.

Telling me that he is right and I am wrong for craving warm and deciduous trees.

Prepping the inside studio, unpacking flannel, getting quiet, alone and sad.

Sad Until June.
