Tears cried,
And I'm awash in a new day.
Sunlight pours through an open window,
And casually rests its hand on my right leg.
I don't flinch or close the blinds,
Because a smile lights my face,
As I think of being outside,
Within the spring wind.
Yet my finges are grounded here,
Within the solace of words,
And yet I know I must venture out,
In order to find new words,
For new experiences always make the spirit glow.
New faces always make maturity uplift a level.
And so I sit here,
While the sun pours through an open window,
Dangerously giddy over its hands,
Resting casually on my knee,
Like the hands of a once young love,
Beckoning me outside to feel the warmth,
And to taste the spring coast breeze.
Tears cried,
And I'm awash in a new day.

And when the spirit glows ...
the heart is flowing with new thoughts to pen.

Lovely work, Temptress. My daughter saw your picture and said you and look alike, and we kind of do.

Now this is poetry.  And I know the feeling.  So many good things to do, one has to choose.  Joyce

Yeah I'm trying to get myself out of this house within the next 30 minutes so I can go and enjoy the sun and the beach for a few hours before I head to work...James

Nicely contemplative, Jenn. I like the thoughts here, and the way you told them.
