Winter's Last Goodbye

I am finding beauty in the sunshine,
happiness in the small things.
A smile has found residence on my face,
and doesn't appear to feel like moving out anytime soon.

A butterfly flapping wings on a chilly morning,
the contrast of orange wings and blue sky
causes my heart to fill with joy.

And leaves start to sprout
from winter's barren trees,
warming my mind to
the idea of spring
as wind blows in my window
and through my hair,
winter's last kiss across my neck.

  1. At this point in the winter, all I can say when that Springtime feeling starts to appear is "good ridance!" Let's come out of the cave and see what we can grow! :)

    1. Oh, and that "ridance" should have two d's. :)

    2. I completely agree. I'm ready to be outside and stay outside. Enough of this in between junk.
