Layers of clouds spread over the earth;
A diffuse light glowed soft and warm,
No sign of blue sky only an airy white comforter to pull over.
A billowing shield from harsh sun rays.
A cover for dreams, inviting sleep.
Then a clear blue patch popped up on the morning horizon.
Light beckoned earth get a running start.
My sleep worn eyes opened, astonished,
Having awakened from a long, cold night to catch the wink of sunlight.
Awakened from somnolence I could only grin;
Stretch out gleeful hands as if today would be like no other.
Joyfully greet another gift from out of the blue.
