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.

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.
