With her blinds at half mast,
early morning casts a new light
across the night-time gloom of her room

Despite a drowsy fight,
her empty gaze is stolen by the sight
of sunlight softly stroking chimney stacks

Cold air seeps through the cracks
of the inched open window
dancing up her goose-bumped arms

Propping her pillow behind her, her hands warmed
by her steaming coffee mug,
her slow, sleepy fog begins to slide away

A happy birdsong melody
trips through the bass-line of traffic,
making fine morning music

The sky slipping now from blue to gray,
the day mood-swings its way towards a gentle rain,
dripping diamonds on her window pane

...just bein' Bluesy

Even with her "goose-bumped arms," this poem is warm to the heart, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
