waking up
I woke this morning to a cool draft circulating throughout my sleeping place. I breathed in. The coolness soothed my lungs as I softly inhaled through my nose. I let out a sigh and opened my eyes. The humming of my fan quietly complimented the other sweet noises that lay just beyond my window. The birds chirped sweet little songs back and forth to one another and little children splashed about in the pool across the way. I could make out a brilliantly blue, cloudless, sky from the cracks of my blinds. They chattered lightly with every breath of air that found its way into my room. I pulled off my covers to further examine the renewed day. Today the grass was greener. The animals were no longer strangers to the neighborhood as they pranced around under my sill. Life outside seemed to be alive and dancing, fueled by the gentle zephyr rolling across the landscape. I longed to be outside- to lie in the grass, to submerge myself in a cool blue pool.
