NOON GOD! GUIDE US! TEACH US! PREPARE US! BUT WE DON'T LISTEN. WE DON'T OBEY. WE FORGET. THEN YOU ROAR! WE ARE SHAMED. WE HAVE FAILED YOU. NOON GOD IS SILENT.

My parenting book is now available! Send me a DM with any questions!

NOON GOD! WE COWER IN YOUR VOICE. BUT WE SHOULD EMBRACE IT! WE FORGET AND ARE STARTLED. BUT WE SHOULD STAND READY TO ACCEPT YOUR GIFT! WE CURL UP IN OUR GUILT AT YOUR PASSING. BUT WE SHOULD SHOUT OUR PRAISES BACK ONCE YOU ARE SILENT. THERE IS MUCH WE SHOULD DO. BUT WE FAIL.

NOON GOD! WE ARE PARCHED. OUR LAWNS GO BROWN. WE COMPLAIN BECAUSE THE LEAVES MIGHT NOT BE AS COLORFUL. WE CREATE OUR OWN FALSE DESPAIR. THEN YOU HOWL! WE ARE REMINDED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS BIGGER THAT OUR PATHETIC LAWNS. WE ARE DISAPPOINTMENTS. YOU ARE SILENT.

NOON GOD! THERE IS A BREAK IN THE CLOUDS AND SUDDENLY ALL REJOICE? THEN YOU HOWL AND WE SHAKE FREE FROM OUR REVELRY. THE STORM ISN'T OVER! WE MUST BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES AGAINST THIS WEIRD ORANGE WIND. WE WILL KEEP FIGHTING! WE PRAISE YOU FOR BRINGING US BACK TO REALITY.

NOON GOD! WE ASK FOR REAL FALL. WE PRAY FOR REAL FALL. WE BEG FOR REALLY FALL. WE PROSTRATE UPON THE DIRT FOR REAL FALL. NOON GOD ROARS! WE ARE ASHAMED. NOON GOD IS SILENT.

NOON GOD! THERE IS A CHILL IN THE AIR AND IN OUR HEARTS. WITH WINTER, WE NEGLECT YOU. FALSE FALL CREEPS UP AND WE ARE PUT INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY. WE SLUMBER. BUT THEN WE HEAR YOUR CRY! WE ARE REMINDED OF SECOND SUMMER AND THAT WE SHOULD ALWAYS BE WARY. YOU ARE SILENT.

NOON GOD! YOU ARE OMNIPRESENT! YOUR VOICE RINGS EQUALLY IN ALL EARS. EVEN IN WINTER HARBOR, IT SEEMS. WE COLLAPSE IN PROSTRATION FOR YOUR MIGHTY NATIONAL GREATNESS. NOON GOD CARES NOT. NOON GOD IS SILENT.

NOON GOD! YOU DWELL IN MY HEART IN A VACUUM OF SILENCE. YOU ARE ETHEREAL, BEYOND MY GRASP. I CHASE YOU; BEG FOR YOUR ATTENTION. YOU DO NOT RELENT. THEN I STRAY. I FORGET. MY HEART FILLS WITH DRECK. I AM LOST WITHOUT KNOWING. THEN YOU HOWL! AND IT ALL RUSHES BACK. I COLLAPSE.
