Sitting In the Sun

I awaken to sunbeams 
pushing back the night; 
the day solidifies 
before my eyes, 
ignoring the ticking clock 

ghosts squeak their disapproval 
in faded floorboards, 
paintings sharpen, 
and graceful cats 
pace in the hallway 

stained glass accepts the light, 
and colors crawl along the wall; 
we all shine, 
perhaps reluctantly, 
sitting in the sun
