The Scent of Winter

I could smell the sunlight 
Fragrantly falling 
Like a morning perfume 
Over winter’s skin 
Sinking into the pores of the earth 
As it sped along its way 

I watched as the trees 
Lifted their noses into the air 
And waved their arms about 
Endlessly trying to reach the sky 
As if to say 
Good morning
