circles

Up.
High in clouds
Heavy with water,
Heavy with life.

Rain down
Ran down,
Run down the hillside.
Rush to some better place.
Run to the future,
Ran to the past.

Evaporate.
Dissipate.
Reformulate.
Reassemble.
Reappear.
Refall.

Look up and see--
Open your eyes,
Open your mouth
Let the rain fall...

Down.

Welcome!

Welcome to fallsong rising.

I am fallsong, and this is my blog. I thought for a long time before beginning a blog. It seems like everyone and their fourth cousin twice-removed has one. So why contribute to the growing cyber bloat?

Good question. And I have to admit it all has to do with the title of this blog, "fallsong rising".

I thought for a long time before striking on a phrase that had meaning to me, something that express the purpose for having a blog in the first place, and this title says it all. Because this blog is going to be about my own rising...the awakening a new person inside me. Or maybe it's really just a re-awakening of the person who has been hiding inside me all this time--someone who has long wanted to get out. I have finally decided to break whatever walls have held this person bound, and set her free. Free to see the sunshine hidden in the clouds...free to find the truth behind the fog of ideas floating around out there...free to just BE.

That is my purpose here. And I have no idea what form this "freeing" will take. It will hopefully be insightful, to me at least, and will probably show up in some kind of creative writing--poetry, fiction, general rants and venting. Yes, venting. No doubt there will be much venting. So just remember -- you have been warned.

Until next time, then.
