exploring this new city.

turning corners filled with people

unseen sights

unheard voices

unfamiliar smells

wandering eyes

vibrant colors of fall

not fall, autumn as they say here

 

overwhelming feelings of blessedness

eyes watering of excitement

heart beating of thrill

 

everything is so new

yet so old

 

i am just another face in the crowd

yet time moves so slowly

as if i lived here

 

my new home

home.

but i am reminded that this is temporary

 

just enjoy the moment

live in the present

and love life

 

i am not here to stay

but i am here

and i am happy.
