my sister and I both agree that one of the best parts about china was how there's food everywhere. And not just, like, bags of chips, but real hot, cooked, tasty food. You hike to the top of a mountain and there's a guy with a cart selling chicken skewers and freshly steamed corn on the cob. When you hike to the top of a mountain in america, what do you get? Nothing. An uninterrupted view of nature. Where did we go wrong as a country

My eyes follow the leaves
Autumn is here
They fall down slowly
to the barren street
silence echoes in the air
the cold bite of the Fall
soothes my despair
it kises my cheek
I think of you
missing you
like flowers need water
like the sun needs the moon
and like stars need night
something in the wind
brings me to fond memory
Your embrace
your smile
your voice
But we had no choice
we had to part
will we meet again
or will we begin again
a fresh new start?
