Seasons of Change

Just as the seasons change, so does our life. I have experience seasons of happiness, bliss, joy, love, confusion, disappointment, loneliness, and more. This year was off to a good start until about the end of February. I went into a severe depression and the journey isn't over. Words can't describe how this year has been for me and I would never want anyone to experience such awful darkness. The season of dread was parting ways and the beautiful season of hope and life was returning to the sky of my life. Until, the deep dark clouds of death and grief visited the horizon of my life. The awful monster of death came and stole my Grandpa Pierce away. Tears like the rain fell in a steady stream off my face, my heart broke like a piece of glass shattering on the floor, and my mind wandered like a homeless man. I couldn't understand why the season of hope had only visited for a short while. Must my sky always be filled with sadness of the dark, heavy clouds that hide the sun from my face? Am I sealed to a fate of darkened skies? As I have learned the seasons sometimes change quickly or they stay for awhile. I want to see the flowers, the sun, and a blue sky. I am always looking at the horizon for the sign of the sun and when she shines her beautiful, radiant rays on my sky I will dance under her light.
