At My Window Sill

light breaks across my window sill
golden rays of early morning sun
filtered by the window’s pane
a symbol, another day has come 

i gaze out across my window sill
watch the play of two young squirrels
hear the songs morning birds sing
feel the warmth upon my face 

i linger in front of my window sill
staring at the green of the woods
and dream of passing this day
here, at my window sill

Thank you Sylvia, I do my best to find serenity in what I write, sometimes it isn't there and I have to go with the flow. RD

no better place to linger. Squirrels are a lot of fun to watch.
