One Spring Morning

Awakened by the light
Reach up to the blinds
Slowly turn the rod
The sun is rising
It blinds, but only for a moment
The light has entered the room
The long winter is over
All of the snow has melted
A breath is taken in
The weight has been lifted
Refreshing and invigorating
Entering the forest of trees
The green has overwhelmed
Animals scurry along
Up and down, they play
Running amongst each other
The ponds and streams have turned
From cold fidget ice
To warm flowing water
A deer wanders to the pond
She bends down and takes a sip
The ground is now warm
A green leaf slowly rises
From the earth it pokes through
A long stalk appears
Out bursts a blossoming tulip
Others follow along the same path
The meadows are no longer bear
The brown flat earth now holds
Luscious golden wheat
The sky is now blue
No longer gray
White fluffy clouds high above
Dancing robins and sparrows
Color and life is reborn
All from my window
