Chapter 38: seasons of my skin

a journey in my own skinWords: 674

The seasons change,

and with them,

I feel the world in ways

I've never known.

When the wind blows,

it finds the face I've waited for,

the one that finally matches my heart.

I feel the cool air kiss my skin,

the crispness on my jawline

that I dreamed of

but could never touch.

The sun kisses my chest

like it's a place it's always known,

bathing me in warmth

that isn't just physical,

but spiritual.

Every breeze

feels like a conversation

between my soul and the world—

a world that now sees me

as the man I am,

the man I was always meant to be.

Through the spring rains,

the summer heat,

the autumn winds,

I stand,

each season a reminder

that I am becoming,

and I am here.
