I wake to an earth different from yesterday; today I open my eyes to a place full of life.
Like a caterpillar is ready to become a butterfly, the world is ready to start a-new.
The comfortable cool climate is crisp and refreshing,
the world around me is blossoming with delight.
The warm wind whispers in my ear, inviting
me to come outside and enjoy the exquisite light

Lively and nurturing, the light
kisses the world around me bestowing life.
The world seems so calm, so peaceful, so inviting
it welcomes everyone to a new
start. “Tweet, tweet” all I can hear is the birds singing their harmonious song of delight.
All I can feel right now is the pure air brushing up against my cheek. The air is as refreshing

as a cold glass of water on a hot summer day. Refreshing
is the soft and tender breeze that lights
the spreading flames of life with its alluring delight.
The new world is glowing with life
the world burns with a certain kind of a new
found serenity. The tranquility is dazzling and inviting.




All the animals big and small, are inviting
me to bask in the refreshing
energizing sun. My skin hungrily soaks up the new
sunlight, greedily wanting more. I haven’t enjoyed the warmth and light
of the sun in months, I’ve been kept in the dark like the boxes under my bed. But with the sun comes a new chance at life.
and with life comes the cause of my delight.

Scars of the frigid and cruel winter, being mended by the warm delight
of all life. The flowers and the plants benevolently giving off an inviting
aroma that fills my nose with life,
The wind lightly whips through my tangled hair, refreshing
me as the light
of the sun refreshes everyone after days and days of dark. It’s a new

start for everyone. It’s out with the old and in with the new.
Goodbye skies of gray, hello delightful
skies of blue. A season filled with love, laughter and light.
A time bursting with the melodious song of the refreshing
brook as it lazily flows and the light kisses of the warm gusts, which is inviting
to me and to all life.

The world has blossomed overnight, into a peaceful haven full of delight and glee. It’s transformed the darkest of places into baskets of light and life. This new season is refreshing to the eye and inviting to the soul.
