Awakening
Fresh grass growing beneath my feet
Flowers blooming
Morning dew tickling me
Cherry blossoms in their fullness
Awake from a hard winter
Animals once again mate
Out from hibernation
I’ve been trapped too long
Yearning to escape like the flying birds above me
Soaring high as the clouds
Spring breeze swirling
Life awakened
Honey bees buzzing
Ladybugs crawling
Symbols of life after the storm
Welcoming the new season
Feeling refreshed and renewed as these creatures
Mother nature
Calling me personally
Life changes like seasons
Greet the warmth as these are the good times
Cold no more
Dawn arose on my side today
Waking up on the right side of the bed
Sun shining in my face
Open up my window
Hearing the children laughing and playing
Closing the chapters from before
Spoke of doom, gloom and the blues
Time for a new start
Evolution of me
Opening my mind to something new
Not borrowed or blue
I want a love for my own
Past defeat is gone
Being able to celebrate the lives of those gone
Awakened life
Even physically
Stand straighter
Chest out
Head up
Pep in my step
Laughing a little louder
Blame the awakening
Instilled finally
In the depths of my mind, body and soul
Alive
Conscious of my path ahead
Anxiously awaiting
Next steps
I can live again…awakened
