Eyes Open:

Today I awoke to blue skies 

and drifting marshmellow clouds 

and there on high 

a bright sun smiling

feeling its warmth upon me

the minute I set foot into the garden

its light shining down

lighting every corner

as flowers raised their proud heads

in utter glory

colours as if a Monet painting

from the daisy's to the pansy's

weeping willows stretching 

their tired winter limbs

as if to clutch the very rays

as birds sit in trees singing

of the glory that is the summer 

to surely come

my cats laze around 

partaking in any item 

that will serve as if

a personal sun chair

creatures scurry about their lives

and a slight breeze blows about me

as if a thousand million kisses

touching my senses

and all at once I feel alive

a smile so radiant

creeps across my face

to join the light that is the sun

and I am but one

content

in my own paradise
