sky

i am awake

my breath
warms the cool
blustery air
around me
into a cotton fog

i inhale the life
that is the sky
and step with intention
upon the earth

the ground greets
my feet with its
soft, welcoming mat
of dirt
and daffodils

chirps are bright
above me
and remind me
that soon
i will step barefoot
in a sundress

and laugh
