Eager For Fresh Air
eager for fresh air
sandman’s stardust fades
nightmares flee through open panes –
breeze ushers in sun
squinting, I wake up
memories of terror gone –
bright, glorious day
wrens on window ledge
nature’s plentitude finds me –
eager for fresh air
*It’s the escape from nightmares and the joy found in nature that make me dash out of bed.
Entry for Ed Ebbs’ “What Makes You Wake Up Each and Every Day” contest.
