The harmony of the orange, yellow, and slightly brownish leaves on the trees outside are invisible, but yet I still see them all. Some of them falling at a frequent speed, while the others hang on for life as the forceful wind tries to take away all of their hope.
All I have is my memories from the past years, from when there were trees growing from their seedlings in the same location for many years. When all of the leaves from the trees would fall at a slow pace, be raked into a pile, and then would be crashed into by a mindless child, or slightly kicked by someone on a swing tied to a thick and trustworthy branch.
The fuzzy hoodies fitting loosely around torsos. The hot chocolate flowing through and warming slightly chilled bodies. Yet all I have this amazingly loved season, are none other than faint memories. For every time I go outside I'm hit with a gush of cool winds and a terribly hot atmosphere. I'm sure all of the mountains would be absolutely gorgeous in fall if we were not in a burning desert with spiky bushes, small unnatural trees, and 93˚ weather until probably November it may get in the 80's but you can never be sure.
All I ask for is a place like Northeastern Kansas and Northwestern Missouri, where they are already in the 50's and 60's... Life should be, and could be like this for me... But it shan't.

My absolute favorites are the last four. my favorite out of those would most likely be Lauren DeStefano or William Cullen Bryant.
