Sunlight:

I try to close the morning shades as the sun shines in way to much.
It is only 6am and the sun is extremely warm to the touch.

I curl back into the comfort of my bed and try to fall back asleep.
But the thought of being out in the warm sun brings me to my feet.

I run down stairs with shorts covering my legs and sun glasses in my right hand.
I feel excited to step out into the warm sun and take in the illuminated land.

The rays penetrate my ashen skin as a smile creeps across my face. 
I stare into the sky with shades covering my eyes and in me I find a since of grace.

I walk out onto the warm grass, feet bared deep.
All the excitement of the warmness makes me never want to sleep.

The day's of summer are long but the sun shine is unpredictable so for now I'll enjoy it.
Because I'm in love with warm sunlit morning's like this I have to admit.

I don't blame you here at all. It's all about the simple pleasures. You truly captured that sense of innocense here. I miss this feeling. Great job!
