Fall

I see the beauty of the trees, the different colors resembling a different time of their lives, the green symbolizing youth, the yellow and red signaling age, and finally the brown falling so fast yet so slow as the tree has finally lost all of its leaves. I believe this relates to the cycle of life. It is truly beautiful, and with time, I have begun to see my father’s hair grow grey and my mother’s smile lines run deeper in her cheeks. As for me, I see small changes, such as my voice getting deeper or having to draw another dash on the wall to show how tall I have gotten. Fall always lets me know the year will soon be over, as the trees are a constant reminder of a cycle every individual goes through. I find it difficult to keep track of the years that have gone by, but inevitably I will have to face it one season at a time, one leaf at a time, as we all move through our own personal cycle of growth and change.

Cold Case

Is it yes or no?

It can’t be both yet it is

But it isn’t.

Confusing at best

What else is there to think

Or do I not think?

Am I expected not to think,

not to investigate every little parcel.

Sooner or later the case will go cold,

hopefully to be brought out of a box in a couple of years

Unless someone gets to it first.

A high possibility based on the past, but I will sit at my desk waiting for that call.

The call to bring it out and open the box to finally get to look through the files,

Finally solve the case that has been laying stagnant for years.

Little leads here and there that lead to another dead end or wasted efforts that just lead to hurting my good name.

The ice will melt from this case by the fire that has been ignited from the search.

Hopefully it will move from unsolved to forever closed, but for now I sit at my desk.

Defeated Again

Once I again I walked off of another teams field not feeling the great feeling of victory

This past weekend the team traveled up to Los Olivos, CA to compete against the Dunn Earwigs on their parents weekend, just as we did last year.

We went into the game with high hopes, and a new play series that we had worked on all week.

We arrived at the school, and right of the bat the day was not going as planned.

Somehow the ball bag was left back at school, some 2 hours away.

We did not have our own game balls, or our own kicking tee.

We put that aside and made do, and went into our pre game routine of bananas, pretzels, and stretching.

Our Defensive Coordinator John Wickenhaeuser had dome some research that bananas and pretzels before a game does the body good if that comment seemed a little odd.

During our warm ups that same nauseous feeling returned, and I was once again off my game.

I even tried to take medicine to make this feeling go away, but it is clear that it is nerves, and I just need to be hit a few times so that I don’t think about it as much.

When the game started Dunn quickly scored their first touchdown, and we weren’t too worried, that happens in the game of football.
