an autumn sigh
leaves my lips
makes its way through the bare branches
and disperses into the blue above
i listen to a ray of sunshine tell me about her life
the years we've spent
walking these familiar streets
suddenly we are
relaxing in our favorite coffee shop
drinking our favorite drinks
and we're transported
back
to our old selves
old laughs
wise smiles
the comfort i'm drinking is no match for the
home
sitting across from me
the reassuring sparkle in her eye that says
everything is going to be okay
twin souls turned messy lives
can still rest in this transparent bubble
a protection against winter and uncertain futures and all the other things that are coming too fast, that sit looming above our heads
but it doesn't dampen
this november day
with the sun occasionally peaking through the clouds
and a welcome briskness tingling our weary limbs
i glance at the bare trees
and smile because i know
i am just like them
as cold and alone in this gray
feeling just as naked and forgotten in time
and
i too will wait
for my green leaves to return

(I keep meaning to say something and then you make a new beautiful post to say something about, brava!)
Anywho.
It sounds like you are starting to look up- huzzah! I'm glad! Trees are a good metaphor, because (like you said) they will get back to green again. I'm also glad that you have your ray of sunshine! :D Here's to a sunny winter.
