Wait list

I wait for Autumn, my favorite season. I put on hold a passionate desire for pumpkin spice bread and caramel apples. I crave scented candles that glow warm and smell sweet and cool mornings damp with fog.

And I wait for turkey with the family and the gentle tumble into a winter filled with twinkle lights and glitter wrapped presents under the tree.

I am not patient. Time says keep waiting. I have no choice. So I wait.
