Sitting On the Porch

Sitting on the porch Soaking up rays of the warm sun Feeling clearly optimistic Chimes gently dinging Acknowledging their role In today’s beautiful weather Robins and orioles still and silent Nothing obvious flying A sense of safety February softness Prelude to spring Roosters crowing My striped pajamas Enveloping me warmly Bare feet twitching Pen travels across notebook Thoughts are moving leisurely Unhurried and fearless Poetry gentles my spirit Bringing hope forward As sunshine shares her love
