Windowsill Thoughts

sunshine dances through the window,
tugging you to come out to play

robin egg sky holds out it’s hand,
clouds winking down at you

so you throw off the light grey covers,
jam on old cracked black sandals

whirl out the door because the breeze
is eagerly calling your name

it takes everything in you not to
run wild through the streets

so you  lay down and give the grass
a great big hug of gratitude

because you are here, vibrant and alive
which wasn’t really guaranteed for awhile

and although there is pain, today there
is sunshine and the trees, and that is enough
