Autumn,
Much like my college years
Ended as aburptly as it began.
A decade.
Really?
Seemed more like a day.

A new one begins.
On the other side of the glass.

Sucked it up,

And shook it off.

That's what defines me.
I had my wonder years.

Creative animals stir,
Restless,
Pacing,
It's time...

A penny for my thoughts?
Hope,
You got the keys to Fort Knox.
