I woke up with a sparkle today,
The air around me,
Fresh, crisp and invigorating,
I watched a little birdie tap on my window,
It felt like it wanted me to let it in,
But I thought to myself,
She is the one who got it all,
The freedom to be, become and fly.
Her taps jotted me back to reality,
I wanted to be like her,
Appreciate what was right in front of me,
So, I took a deep breath and exhaled,
I saw the beauty in the clouds gathering for a downpour,
The beauty in the 100 year old mugumo tree outside my window,
I felt the cool breeze sailing through unbothered,
And the sweet melodies of the birds chirping.
I realized just how lucky I was,
To experience another day feeling whole and loved by the universe.
So I sat down and wrote this poem.
XOXO
