Birth is... a bright smile, a soothing hug, the rising sun.



Spring is… the color yellow, green leaves, fresh air.




Love is….. a warm fire, a gentle hand, a passionate kiss.



Summer is… the heat of the sun, powder of the sand, and cold popsicles.
Freedom is….. the movie Les Miserable, entrepreneurship, a bald eagle.

Winter is… the smell of hot chocolate, the feel of a warm blanket, watching Christmas movies.









Autumn is… playing in leaves, a red apple, and a full dinner table


Loneliness is… a rainy day, an empty room, a distant crowd.


Anger is… a slammed door, a broken vase, a tight fist.
Hate is a locked gate, a swastika, a loaded gun.




War is the color red, a scarred hand, and an orphaned child.



Wisdom is… a wrinkled face, children’s stories, a huge mistake.


Death is… a pair of pale lips, a kiss goodbye, and a promise to been seen again.


The author's comments:
With this piece, I wanted to bring together several contrasting emotions that people deal with on a daily basis and associate them with actions or things that we see everyday, but might not give a second thought to.
