The countdown is on.
Weeklong events lead to this.
Lovely reunion.

A whole day wasted.
Minutes click as brains expire.
Staring at the screen.

Busses are dismissed.
Children running, taking flight.
Silence fills the halls.

Little yellow box.
Pumping out music for all.
Samuli was king.

Smoke-filled houses speak.
Warning of dangers inside.
Get the kids and run.

Your life in turmoil.
Take time to focus on good.
Weeping while working.

Seasonal changing.
Dull green to brilliant red hues.
Crumble under foot.

Helplessly falling.
Off of a skateboard and down.
Into your embrace.

A car full of food.
Waiting patiently for class.
The small surprises.
