Spring Break

Sunshine roars through my window,

Marching across the floor to my face,

Waking me with April promises.

A breeze rolls through my curtain,

A nod to the waves of the ocean,

Calling me to the air, to the earth.

I let my skin drink the season in deeply,

Beaming in the glow of daylight.

Gently nudged toward awake,

My feet find the floor.

And while sleep leaves my eyes

And dreams fade to the real world,

 I shed another evening in my wake,

Continually pulled forward in time.
