I sit on the step and take a moment
for the sun. The warmth on my skin
brings joy to my soul. I wiggle my toes
and stretch my arms. I listen to the
conversations being had across the way.
The year has been cold and gloomy, this
light brings me happiness. I am reminded
of the beauty that comes with change.
The same thing day after day for months
on end left little light for the day,
I celebrate this warmth, this moment, this
joy that the long winter will go away. I open
up my book and breathe in the words on
the page. I sip my kombucha as a car drives
by, Bob Marley blasting out their open window.
Another reminder everything will be alright.
